I fly out in 4 hours and thought it wise to make sure all systems are working. This is mainly a test of whether https://Steve.Davis.net.au posts automatically end up on Google+ and Facebook. And it is a good opportunity to get started once again. If you are interested in reading about my last trip click the 2015 category in the right hand column.
I am taking a phone, a tablet and a camera – although I have a support team so I can relax a bit, I will be keeping an eye on 123host. What a world we live in when I can take photos on each of the devices. And what a first world issue to deal with when deciding which takes the best shot.
Best way to decide is a test
Samsung tablet -2Mb
Canon ixus camera – 9Mb
Motorola G3 phone – 5Mb
I think I will use the camera mostly. The tablet is a distant 3rd on resolution alone and let’s not even discuss that my finger photobombed the shot.
While I like the colours and contrast of the phone over the camera, they can be adjusted later in LightRoom. I prefer that little bit of extra view with the camera, I can always crop a camera shot, but I can’t add to a phone shot. It will be useful to take photos with the camera once in a while…I keep telling myself that.
This bag is all I am taking. I looked at it and laughed in a mixture of embarrassment, triumph and patheticness. It seriously has all I need. A clean shirt and pair of shorts, toiletries, some medicals (double checks gastri-stop), too many wires and chargers and of course, a ukulele. Yes, there is really a uke in there – I hope it will survive the trip.
What else can a person possibly need?
The bizarre thing is I needed a huge suitcase for a week in Melbourne recently and a day pack is all I need for 5 weeks in India.
Overnight to Kuala Lumpur where I really hope I am allowed out of the airport to go to Batu Caves during a 14 hour layover. Then into Delhi 2200hrs local time on Friday…I should be in great shape 😛
