Try to use the camera every day but it isn't always possible due to other activities/health, so must register as 'at least weekly'. On days with no camera the potential shots abound and when I drag a ton of kit with me there's nowt to be found! As John pointed out, the weather is not a deterrent, except maybe the cold on my fingers. Ah, the bliss of weather resistance!

Gwyn - I'm sure things will sort themselves out, and good luck with the project.
Pentaxophile - Don't we all: leave them home, and then find the picture we've been waiting for... I wish I could be as disciplined as Mike, lugging his Lowepro to work daily.
Simon - That sounds like another poll waiting its turn? Good catch with the rainbow and lighthouse. The rockpool reflection is lovely, as is the sky.
Stephen - That's Murphy's Law again...

If the poll read "when do you take your camera" it would have been easy to answer as it's everytime I venture to the coast/Snowdonia etc - over time though I've decided that certain lighting just doesn't work well so sometimes it never leaves my rucksac - wouldn't risk leaving it at home though as I might miss fleeting opportunities like this one...simonkit wrote:

I've ticked every day although the truth is probably somewhere between daily and weekly. I rarely leave the house without one or other of my cameras although on work days I find I have taken it there and back and not had a chance to use it. If I want small and compact I take the MX with the 40mm pancake in its blimp.

John - the cameras and the lenses may well be weatherproof - not so sure about me these days though !!! I`m with Kris probably nearer 4/5 times a week.

I use my K10D almost everyday, and not only for the normal family or creative photography shots. For example last weekend I took the tumble drier to pieces to fit a new drive belt. Great having the camera to hand to photograph the disassembly process, so when I put it all together again I knew where are the pieces went. My memory is not what it was these days !

I don't use mine nearly enough, but I don't get out of the house nearly enough either, and when I do I have at least the kids and usually "The Boss" in tow as well.
I go through stages of taking the camera to work with me, intending to stop on my way home, but by the end of the day I just can't be bothered.
