http://profoto.com/blog/fine-art-pho...n-ruhter-creat ing-largest-wet-plate-collodion-ambrotype-world Another case of the process of capturing the photographs is far more interesting than the photographs themselves. Technique over result. And really: "For the behind-the-scenes material we relied on our trusty iPhones to capture these moments. Unfortunately, mine and my assistant Will Eichelberger phones both crashed and we lost all of our photos. This is one of the reasons I believe in making tangible things. It's quite hard to lose a 27 x 36 inch glass plate." ********, it's about a thousand times "easier" to crash a large glass plate than an iPhone. And anyone using an iPhone without iCloud backup is making a mistake. -- Sandman |

That did not work in my camera, but it did in my computer and my printer,so the pix were not lost. There is available a small portable battery operated unit that takes a photo SD card and quickly burns the pix to a CD-R. It is useful in the field. I transfer images from camera to laptop via a locked SD card; never by cable or wi-fi. Mort Linder |

There is available a small portable battery operated unit that takes a photo SD card and quickly burns the pix to a CD-R. It is useful in the field. there is nothing quick about burning a cd, which doesn't hold much anyway (about 20 photos for a typical camera today). it also means you would need to carry a bunch of blank cds and then carry both the burned ones and whatever blanks were not used. a much better alternative is a portable hard drive with a card slot, some of which have small displays to preview the photos. they're small enough to fit in a pocket. another option is bring a laptop, which can then be used to edit the photos on site. for smaller amounts of photos, a tablet could also work, uploading them after finishing the edits. I transfer images from camera to laptop via a locked SD card; never by cable or wi-fi. that makes no difference whatsoever, other than the time to copy if the camera's usb is slow (i.e., not usb 3). with wifi, the copying is automatic as the photos are taken, so there's no additional copy time needed. the photos are already on the computer. it's as convenient as it gets. |

I was surprised to learn that they make card readers that plug into a micro USB slot on an Android tablet or phone. I bought a Lenovo 10.1" tablet, and the card reader, and the 64GB micro SD cards for the tablet are only about $20 these days. So now I can take as many photos as I want, and transfer directly to the tablet which has LR installed, and I then have the option of uploading the processed photos directly to Flickr with the tablet. I think the 64 GB cards should hold about 3000 raw files. I have admittedly not tested this, and do not know the transfer speed yet. Then again, it's not so important if you're not in a hurry, and if you have a couple of spare cards, why would you be? Ain't technology great these days? |

Then again, it's not so important if you're not in a hurry, and if you have a couple of spare cards, why would you be? the only problem is that phones and tablets don't have a lot of storage capacity. you won't be copying a 64 gig card onto a 16 or 32 gig tablet, especially if the tablet is partially filled with apps, music, etc. the advantage of a laptop is that it has more internal space and external drives can easily be plugged into it. the disadvantage of a laptop is it's bulky. a portable storage device that has a card reader fits in a pocket, so you can leave the laptop at home or the hotel. Ain't technology great these days? sure is. |

Mort Linder I use whatever transfer method is convenient at the time, cable linked reader for CF cards, built-in SD card reader, WiFi, from the ColorSpace UDMA. None of them has failed me yet. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It still works but there's no need for it now with such a small amount of storage. Yup! These days 30GB is a tad cramped. The other thing I like about the UDMA is having a reasonable size display for browsing without a computer, and that it behaves like any other portable HDD when connected to a computer. I got my UDMA with a 250GB drive in 2009 and I have since replaced that with a 1TB drive. I am still using the original battery which has been long lived, but it might be prudent to replace that soon. The UDMA has proven to be a great back-up tool and on one trip saved the day when D300+ 3CF cards were stolen in South Africa. I only lost the 6 shots I had taken the morning of the theft.
