Digital Travelers: How do you store your images while on the road?

[Big Ursus]

I pack only one spare CD card, in addition to the ones in the two camera bodies I usually bring. En route, I copy files to my Panasonic lap top every night. So far, that 's woked fine.

In fact, the only photographic problem I've had on the road was in Amsterdam, where I tripped and fell on my Lumix LX - and I was cold sober!

Digital Travelers: How do you store your images while on the road?

Hootoo update.
Outstanding. The little HT-TM-05 Titan (after the FW upgrade) is stellar.
We're working "light" in the field these days.

Eye-fi cards back up to phone and the phone talks to the HooToo which has a flash drive. It keeps the phone up and running also.
Double back-up!

Also it handles the two 1TB HDDs no problem.

Only downside is now we must run two file systems: Mac's journaled and FAT.
Working on that, we'll have to see.

From an alley in the Levant,

I use a netbook with a 250gb drive. Served me well

When traveling for an assignment, the minimum storage I take are a bunch of memory cards (compactflash and/or SD). The only time I travel with a computer is when I know I will be performing editing in the field because I have to give my clients edited images before I return home.

For vacations, I normally carry enough memory cards to give me a minimum of 36 images per day and an average of 100 images per day. This figure is based on the amount of images I have taken over decades of vacation travel.

Leave them on the card.

I don't store or duplicate any digital files until I get back home.

Matter of fact, I don't ever duplicate my film. I have a film scanner but never hooked it up!

Another HooToo Titan update:
We're noticing problems with batch transfer from iOS devices. This is normally not a problem - we edit a slide at a time and, deciding yes, it is transferred.
Also, 64 GB flash drives seem to be better than anything else.
Dear Hubby has given up his D3 bodies entirely as of last week. He grabbed another Fuji and so is traveling with a phone, an x100T, an X-Pro2 and a zoom (maybe the little 50-230?), and the HooToo and flash drives. He's nearly 70 and startlingly fit but he emails me to say that it is "liberating," and "wonderful."

That's all for now, dearies,

Mme O.

SD cards, only. All the rest is just extra baggage.
