How to transfer photos from iPhone to iPad?

I recently got an iPad Air 64GB and I'd like to free up some space on my 32GB iPhone 5 on which I take many photos. I have around 4500 photos on my iPhone which is about 15GB. So you can understand why I'd like to move it all to my iPad.

How could I go about moving the existing photos from my iPhone to my iPad - preferably without having to upload to then download from my Mac (but if this is necessary then I suppose I haven't got a choice)?

Secondly, a question about 'My Photo Stream' which is that: if I take a photo on my iPhone and iCloud pushes it to my iPad, will it be deleted from my iPad if I remove it from my iPhone?

Many thanks!

Added (1). Emailing myself is an obvious one but what's also obvious are the impracticalities of this method when shifting four and a half THOUSAND of them.

Any easy way would to be. Just email them to yourself, then open up your email on your ipad then download them to your iPad… Hope this helped

The easiest way would be to transfer them to a computer & then sync them through iTunes to the iPad.

Yes the Photo Stream album is synced between the devices that can access them. Delete from 1 & it is reflected on the other.

On a side note, I don't know how 4500 pics takes up that much space. Not saying you are lying or anything of course, but I have almost 9000 pics taking up less space than that.

I found it efficiant to use the app drop box! Its takes less than an hour to put all you pictures in dropbox and send them to yourself! Hopes this helps!

Use iCould or Dropbox
