[Leica] Editing on an iPad (bus, or plus bus...)

[spencer at aotera.org (Spencer Cheng)]

Amen.

My case is when we take our tandem to Europe and pedal from village to 
village on our own (as in no support vehicle). On a tandem (bike), space and 
weight limitations are quite strict. I thought about taking my 15" MacBook 
Pro along for about 60s and gave up on that idea as it weighs about 7lbs 
(3.5Kg) once all the extra bits such as power supply and a protective case 
gets added. My wife would have shot that idea down (and me with it) in about 
5s since she has to help me pedal this extra 7lbs up the hills (Provence 
ain't flat).

A MacBook Air would be nice but hard to justify just for these once a year 
trips. :(

I guess I will have to live with editing 2K pictures when we get back though 
I would rather do the filtering along the way.

By the way, an 64GB iPad makes a great backup device. No moving parts means 
it can handle vibrations much better than any of those portable hard 
disk-based backup devices AND you have a decent 10" screen to evaluate all 
your photo mistakes. ;)

Regards,
Spencer
