Memory cards on holiday
- Thread starter Southdowns
- Start date
I think I have solve the problem,no cameras lens or laptop.
First drill an hole somewhere in your head thought to the brain,then stick some wires in,then hardwire then to an SD card,again saving wait over CF cards,then stick the SD card behind your ear,everytime you want to take a photo just wink your eye.
For backup feed some more wires,thought your ears to another SD card behind the other ear.
Just be careful who your wink at in theses foriegn parts some strange folk over there

The only thing that puzzles me about this thread,
it titled "memory cards on holiday"
If they are on holiday, surely they shouldn't be working or indeed
being encumbered by images?
Ergo there is no problem
This works for the cheaper card, but the posh dear one's go on vacation,that usually means they have severs,so that adds more weight rather than cutting back.:shake:

Wow, some serious advice going on here. Be careful though, filling cases with helium gotta be a terriorist piece of advice. Scandisk vs lexar, salesman talking. Diet coke vs full fat, hmmmm.
You gotta remember your goal, evade the Ryanair weight checks without causing concern for your massive Mb. Compressors are ate out so that discounts jpg. So, I think you're left with the new format RAWc - RyanAirWeightCompressed.
Sony seem to be lacking in innovation in this area, Canon have no idea and Nikon will pretend and then copy anything you come up with. Pentax seem to be with it. Pay there tax and they'll write you the one way ticket you need.
(sorry,
)

I just had a thought, if memory cards gain mass with every shot, then coupled with an EXTREMELY wide lens, with a ridiculously wide aperture then the light gathered will be immense, generating mass on the card that if coupled with 12fps would only result in the creation of a black hole inside your camera! Not a good way to finish off a holiday
Ditch the laptop and take an iPad (reduce weight by removing unnecessary apps beforehand).
Better still, just print out a picture of an iPad (on low GSM paper) and take that. If you get the picture from an Apple ad or fanboi site the amount of hot air will keep it (and the aforementioned balloons) afloat.
The mention of smart phones raises issues, especially as most use a removable memory card, so compounding your original problem (albeit it in micro form). If you do take one, delete all apps, contacts (except your mum) and anything else that makes it smart (knowledge is weight).
You can delete the translator app. In the womb you developed an innate ability to understand anything your mum says (mine spoke Louisiana Creole and later Persian Aramaic for several years on a whim and I was fine with it). Of course you lost that ability between ages 3 and 5 and again during your teens, but you will be good now.

You didn't say where you were going on holiday, but if it's somewhere war torn, and/or depressing, you will get some very heavy pics. 
Somewhere happy and bright will give you lighter pictures, and allow you to take more.
Obviously if it you take a picture of a nice light happy scene, it could be negated if there are any large boulders in the background. :shrug: Composition is king.

I'm so glad a started this; the wealth of expertise on here is amazing. So much so that I think the mods should get a structural engineer in to check that the forum's foundations can cope with the weight of knowledge.

It's a good job you're not in to videography, those guys must have a real big problem getting their files home.

To the OP, I find that shooting all my images to include some form of white surface (a wall? a big piece of paper?) means at least a portion of the image contains no data so is therefore lighter in weight.
Of course, where the white space appears in the image is up for debate; some imaging experts believe that having it along a leading edge means easy cropping but of course, the image ratio then changes. Personally, I like to have it somewhere random in the image so when I'm processing when I get home, I can insert the faces of people who I wished had been on the holiday but had been too tight to cough up for the flight out.
I've toyed with microSD cards but they tend to burst easily because it's the same amount of megabytes squeezed into the same space as a regular SD card. I'm pretty sure the folks at CERN have this whole things on their priority list....
