FOR Photographers: How to view and fire photos remotely.... ipad / iphone / webbrowser

This is a bit of a technical artical for other photographers, not really a wedding post :)

Now there are various ways to download images from your camera to your laptop and get them on your ipad/iphone favourite device.

What if there was a way to view them wirelessly without having to download them... or even better trigger your camera remotely and instantly see the picture?

Well with a Canon 1DS Mark 3 and a canon WFT-E2 wireless transmitter this is possible.

Once you're all connected up all you need to do is find out the IP address of your camera (this can be autoassigned by your wireless router (as seen here).

You can now browse the memory cards OR fire the camera remotely. Handy if you want to have the camera setup somewhere and fire it from another location. Think - wedding, event, expensive baby monitor or whatever.

Here's what the remote triggering web page looks like - you even get a preview in the page of the image just taken!
