iPhones, tablets, smartphones and more—the list of personal handheld gadgets seems to be growing yearly. As each new piece of technology struggles to outdo its predecessors, it is no wonder that the ease of doing everyday business and chores is also becoming easier.

Some of the biggest advantages of going digital for photographers rely on having a computer close by — and that works great for photo shoots close to home. But what about photography in remote locations? Laptops are heavy, bulky and have a short battery life. What digital photographers need is an iPad 2.

So, how does the iPad help improve and assist in a photographer’s craft? Let’s count the ways:
· Portability. The iPad 2 weighs less than a pound and a half, and measures a mere 0.34 inches in thickness, making it a great device for tucking into a camera bag or backpack when out on a photography trip.
· Battery life. Batteries in the iPad 2 model last ten hours per charge, so there’s no need to worry when you travel away from convenient electric sockets.
