1. What part of dominican republic are you going?

>Bonao and the capital
>60d with 2 lenses
>I'm hispanic

Capital; don't take shit, not even your phone out. Bonao I don't know, you will probably be fine. Listen to this >>2879507 You could even buy a couple of disposables and take them with you. Just make sure you have a lab that does them first. If you are not street smart don't go anywhere alone.

Good luck. Worry about having fun. Don't worry about taking pictures.

You'll be fine, OP. The dangerous side of the island is Haiti because that's where all the savages are.
DR survives off tourism, so law enforcement protects the tourist corridor. you will be fine as long as you don't go looking for trouble. Also note, DR is one of the biggest sex travel destinations where people come from all over the world to racemix with the local mulatto girls and boys. Keep alert wherever you go, especially the beach, and don't allow yourself to get caught off guard.
Hire a boat to go deep water fishing if you get the chance. Despite all the starving blacks eating mud cookies in Haiti, the island is actually surrounded by some of the very best fishing in the world. Punta Cana pic related

Did you really just compare Costa Rica to the D.R.?

Since OP made this topic...

There is a chance I will be traveling to some thirdworld country in the coming months to shoot a documentary. It could be anywhere from Chile (last trip we went on), to India, to Manila (my pick), to wherever...

Now, we are there to shoot a docu, so we have to take equipment regardless. What precautions should I take? Should there be security? I mean, I see media corporations filming in locations like these all the time, so clearly it's not "that" dangerous?

Chile is not a third world country m80. People fished through the outermost pockets of my backpack all the time if I was walking down a crowded street, but stuff was always fine if it was tucked away/secure in my hands.

Asia might be different. I know the snatch and grab style theft is more common there. I'd imagine you would just need to have other people with you as a deterrent, not dedicated security or anything though.

just get insurance bitch

Costa Rican here. None of those countries is really all that dangerous, I know plenty of people who go street photographing at night in San José (Capital city of CR) and come out all right. You're also incredibly safe in most if not all natural resorts, national parks, etc. The only places in the country where I'd strongly advice against bringing your gear would be marginal ghetto neighborhoods, and there's no reason I can think of to even go there in the first place unless you were a journalist.

tl;dr: if you're thinking of going to Costa Rica (or Panama, really), it's fine, bring your gear,

How about Peru? I'm thinking of taking my film camera there.

OP Here. The capital seems as shitty as the one in my country (Puerto Rico ) I think I'll be fine.
