If you're sending back front-line photos from a war zone, or exploring previously unexplored parts of the rainforest, or seeing just how close you can get to that tiger to take its picture, well, you're obviously compounding the danger factor. No matter what you're taking pictures of, you should brief yourself beforehand on the possible dangers you'll run into along the way.
