All Day I Dream About Photography

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

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 ?

Last week I asked you to rate your photography skills. The poll got just under 150 replies and it seems we have more Professionals than Newbies with a large majority of Advanced Amateurs !
Results are as follows

A few comments !

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 ?

I would really like to know how is the photography skill level of ADIDAP readers distributed. This should help me decide on the topics and tutorial. Although I know there not really one correct answer to this question since we can be newbies in one area but quite advanced in another, try to pickup the one you feel you fit in the best or feel free to add one that I missed
