Photography

I am looking at a project that will require rather fast transfer of the shots I get.

I will be outside in the nature at different locations and my Android phone is my only connection to the storage target over 4G/5G/LTE.

From what I can tell there are a number of options:

• Shooting with a FTP tether over the phone WiFi to upload to the destination
• Shooting with a USB tether to..? My phone? A computer?
• Using wireless tether addons for greater transfer speeds, but also that will be to a computer I guess..?

Have anyone of you done this before with good transfer speeds?

I've seen videos where people mention RAW transfer times of 10-20 seconds. That will create a huge queue of photos for me to upload.

Is wired USB tether to a computer with a good internet connection the only way to achieve this?

I am OK with shooting compressed RAW to keep file sizes down, but the transfer speeds still have to be fast for this to be reliable.

All in all I just want it to be fast and reliable with as little hardware as possible.

I understand this post is more or less just a brain dump. I appreciate any pointers or suggestions.

I have never really shot tethered before, so this is jumping into the deep end of the pool directly.

Thanks.

Edit: I am looking at getting an Sony a7iii for this, but want the solution to work for as many different camera models as possible.

I'm watching this video: https://youtu.be/2VujUm6K-IU

At times he is working with his hands with the camera directly on front of him while using both hands to work. The camera never moves or gets bumped. In one shot he is hitting something with a hammer. Is he just hugging a tripod carefully? Using a boom? I'm scratching my head.

digKam, KDE's image organiser for amateur and pro photographers, releases version 8.5.0. This version of digiKam improves the Face Management system, adds colored labels to identify important items, increases its list of supported languages to 61, and fixes over 160 bugs.

Help keep projects like digiKam producing new releases with awesome new features by donating to KDE's fundraiser.

Mine: ISO, Drive Mode, Battery Info, Digital Zoom. I have 2 more slots. Does your camera provide this feature? What is on your custom menu?

I've been messing with #infrared #photography using #termux #dcraw & #imagemagick  to process RAW files without needing a computer.

There are examples, instructions & the scripts, in mobile friendly chunks, on my #selfhosted website, & the basics are on github too (https://github.com/Linecutterx/PhotoScript) More examples at https://www.macklin.co/infrared-photography-0/
