Storage of photos whilst travelling?
Following up to Jeremy Henderson
And finally, if I accept the hypothesis that I should record images with the maximum possible resolution, the subject matter will ultimately suffer since it's hard to struggle far from your car with view camera and tripod. That is true, but I cannot resist mentioning Shiro Shirahata who carried his Linhof Super Technica 4 x 5 across the Himalaya, with er, 50 to 60 porters :-) -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, Thames path, London, landscapes "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

That's a long way from your blanket statement that film has higher resolution than digital. The blanket statement remains essentially correct. And finally, if I accept the hypothesis that I should record images with the maximum possible resolution, the subject matter will ultimately suffer since it's hard to struggle far from your car with view camera and tripod. There are practical limitations ... if there were not, I'd be shooting everything in large format. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Yes - his book of the Alps graces my coffee table and serves as a constant reminder of what is possible :-) Think how much would have been lost if he had used a digital camera. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

True. A minus if you're into wide angle landscapes (which you are) but a bonus if you're a birdwathcher or a peeping-tom. ;-) In the context of travel, wide angles are far more commonly used than narrow angles. Maybe, maybe not. I tend to use the tele end of the zoom I take on holiday with me. It depends on your interests and style. Yes, but I think we should assess the pros and cons objectively, until reasonable priced digitals give the results the lenses were designed for, that's a minus. For me, as I often take my photos in "bad" weather in fairly remote locations, the lens problem + need for lots of batteries + vulnerability to water(?) make digital a non starter for the moment. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale, Thames path, London, landscapes "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Or are you now telling us that a team of servants is essential for landscape photography? I'm saying that once-in-a-lifetime shoots tend to justify the highest possible image quality, since you can't go back and reshoot if the result isn't of sufficient quality. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
