You're in a cool location, so why wouldn't you share a peek into what it's like there? But enjoying the culture and making a spectacle of it are two very different things. Try taking pictures of exotic foods (like fresh coconuts), bustling markets, and cool technology from your vacation destination.
Don't:
- Photograph locals "in their habitat" — would you want a tourist taking pictures of you while you drank your morning coffee or went to church? It's rude, intrusive, and exploitative . . . don't do it to others.
- Appropriate other cultures — don't wear something insensitive or take part in your destination's special rituals inappropriately just to get a picture you think is fun.
