Carrying all that electronica means that I have to give at least a little thought to how I will manage all of the data while I am travelling. Here is the solution!
The key is the flexibility of the Asus Transformer tablet. It has USB and slots for SD and microSD cards. I can even plug in the cameras directly if I need to. The other nice thing is the 5D which I have set up to write raw files to CF and JPEG small fine to the SD card. So for publication while I am travelling I will use the JPEG versions, and keep the raw files for handling in Lightroom when I get home.
... and on the subject of electronica, one change in the nine years since we last visited Spain that I couldn't help but notice.
ReplyDeleteLast time I took a GPS. It was an external gizmo that I plugged into my PDA where I had a copy of OziExplorer CE running, so I could see a crude raster map of where I was. That was it.
This trip I'll be taking six GPS-equipped devices. Every device in the diagram above has a GPS, together with my phone. I'll have Google Maps, Garmin maps, and even Open Street Maps maps. This was kinda accidental... GPS devices have just become so pervasive over the last nine years!
