Just finished a recent Komodo trip on the Pindito. We had a great trip with some excellent images generated by all of the divers. But we had one giant headache. One of the guests did all of her image adjustment on her IPAD, input via the camera kit card reader. Once she was done she created a library of the good images but we could not get them out of the damn Ipad. If we attached the Ipad to any of a variety of laptops (Mac and PC) you could download all of her pics but there appeared to be no way of getting just the worked on images out of the thing.  She had the i-photo app that was supposed to beam pics via bluetooth to a computer but that didn't work.
What is the simplest (or complexist) way to get some specified pictures off the Ipad and onto a Mac.

thanks

For sale is a complete (and I mean complete) underwater camera system with housing, camera, macro and wide angle lenses, tray, handles, strobe (only 1), and focus light/video light along with all the bits and bobs you need to make it work. You won't need to buy anything else if you want to go diving, but a second strobe would probably be nice.

The camera is a Sony NEX-5 (not the 5N). Great little camera, comes with a 8 GB memory card, two batteries and two battery chargers. New the camera was $700.
The lenses are the 18-55 kit lens, the Sony 30 mm macro lens and the gorgeous Nikonos 15 mm lens. New the lenses were about $800, $300 for the macro lens and $500 for the Nikonos.
The housing is the Nauticam NEX housing that comes with the standard port and the Nikonos adapter that allows the Nikonos to be used with the camera. The standard port also comes with the adapter that allows for attaching any add on wet lens with a 67 mm thread. The housing comes with the Nauticam tray and two handles as well. New this housing is $1650 without the arms and tray. $1800 with all the bits. You also will get two ULCS adapters; one for each arm of the housing, a pair of ULCS clamps and a 8 inch Stix flotation arm. Add to that a strobe of your choice, a nearly new YS01 or a less-new Inon S2000. You also will get a L&M Sola 600 focus/video light and arm and attachment for the arm, plus the appropriate fiber optic cable to the strobe of your choice. All of this new would be a bit north of $4500 for the whole kit.
Yours for $3200 and you pay the shipping.

You know you want to go diving and take pictures and video, now you can get the whole system (macro and wide angle) for a steal.
