Hi there, glad you like the photo :) As for the safety, you always have to be careful. I raveled thorough India with my camera mostly out and visible to others with no problems whatsoever. But remember, in big cities, crowded places you may want to keep your camera in you backpack and the backpack in front of you instead of your back. There is no reason to be paranoid, but you should always be cautious. Plus it makes a difference if you travel alone, are a man or a woman. Keep that in mind stay away from strange places and you'll be just fine, common sense is all you need when traveling ;) ps. would love to see your photos from the trip :)
