Respect the Red Light District
Keep photography non-intrusive; do not photograph people who are working or clearly private spaces.

Provides control over exposure and depth of field for varied lighting along canals and interiors.
Comfortable walking shoes
Cobbled streets and quick position changes require stable, cushioned footwear.
Extra SD card and battery
Avoid missing key moments—carry backups for full-resolution shooting.
Lightweight rain jacket
Amsterdam weather changes quickly; a compact waterproof keeps you shooting in drizzle.
