Do you use Auto or Custom white balance ? [Poll]

I’ve recently got in my inbox a question about White Balance that I haven’t had the chance to answer yet. However it got me thinking that I have my camera set to Auto White balance 90% and the other 10% of the time it is custom white balance taken from a Grey card. No matter how hard I try I don’t remember ever using the preset white balance modes of my camera like “Shades”, “Tungsten” etc…

49% prefer to play it safe ! [Poll Results]

I was surprised by the poll results of last week’s question “Do you put all your eggs in one basket ?“. Although I was not exactly expecting one specific answer to win over the other, I did not expect either a 50/50 situation.

I also had some added answers

  • 1 to 2 gig max: I considered this as small cards
  • 100-200 shots per card: This went to small cards too
  • A few big cards and older smaller cards: I added this one to Few big cards

Results were as follows

Are you a lonesome photographer? [Poll]

I am curious to know if you are the type of person that thinks “the more the merrier” or do you prefer to go alone with you gear for shooting?
So what do you prefer ?

Do you put all your eggs in one basket ? [Poll]

I have been struggling with this question for quite some time, is it OK to have one big CF/SD card or it is safer to have many smaller ones, and where is the cut between practicality and safety?

Myself I never had the guts to buy a CF card bigger than 1 GB, I have a lot of 1GB cards and a few 512MB even and I always feel it is safer that way. Having recently loss 80 pictures due to a card corruption I am happy with my decision. However I feel it is somehow overkill to carry all these cards, I would be much better with 1 or 2 4GB cards.

So what do you guys do ?
