First impressions from Southern Leyte

Today we had our first day diving with Southern Leyte Divers. Unfortunately the rain Gods were on our side almost all day, but this didn’t prevent us from enjoying our 2 dives.
I really enjoyed playing around with my macro lens again.

This evening the sunsets brought great colors and dramatic clouds…..before it started raining again 🙂

Bags are packed and we are all ready to leave tomorrow to Frankfurt and finally to Manila on Saturday morning. Our first stop will be in Southern Leyte.

4 weeks to try out new and old techniques, playing with super macro and fish eye lenses!

We try to keep you updated if WIFI connectivity allows 🙂

External HD and iPad

Photography, Travels

I waited quite a long time before I purchased an iPad. Essentially because I was missing a way how to store/watch photos I take during a trip an the iPad. Even at 64gb the storage is ridiculous if you shoot raw files.
After some research I bought the Hyperdrive . This model allows you to upload your pics directly to the device via card slots and you can view them on a small screen. The newer model works via USB. I was eager to see how it worked with my freshly purchased iPad! And it works great!
Only drawback : you can download your pics and videos to the iPad ( they show up in the Photo app) but you can’t save stuff from your iPad to the Hyperdrive.
That’s why I am impatiently waiting for another gadget from hypershop.com : the iusbport. This little device creates it’s own WIFI network where ever you are! You can then transfer files to several devices ( 2 way flow). I’ll let you know more about that soon!

Here you can see the size compared to an eye-phone 🙂
