Question Weekly Poll: Do you take most of your pictures on weekends or weekdays?

This week's poll is a simple little one. And it probably depends a lot on what you actually do with your days, but... do you take most of your photos on weekends or during week days? Is it because you go to school / work / are busy on weekends so your camera comes out during your lunch hour? There's got to be a reason why you take most of your pictures during a certain part of the week right? Simple as that!

With the exception of a random day off during the week, or my week-long vacation (where I'm virtually out every day possible), most of my photos come from the weekends. I'm at work from 8AM-5PM (or later) most of the week, so that makes it pretty difficult for me to get out and take photos (not to mention, by the time I'm done with work, all I want to do is pass out).

That said, I've been trying to do photos at least 2-3 times a week, just to play and improve, so it's probably getting a little closer to 50/50.

I would probably have to guess weekdays, as there are more of those in a week. The day of the week really doesn't have much bearing on how or what I shoot, so it really turns into a game of ratios for me.

I wish you had an "about both equally" option! I picked weekends, however I pretty much go out shooting any day of the week. I have a flexible school/work schedule which allows me time during the week to pursue my hobby.

Yeah, I'm about evenly split when it comes to the frame count, mostly because I have sports on the weekends, and a single game can run upwards of 500 images. During the week I have assignments pretty regularly.

I don't get home untill 19:30 most days so at this time of year that limits me. I try to get out on my day off.

I take photos everyday :-)
I have a daily photo I upload, which means my camera is always with me and always clicking away...

I would have to say an even mix of both.. but when the little one is born, more on the weekends since Daddy is home and can watch the kids while I go out. Also I would almost say more toward the weekends since my year long project coensiedes with the weekends.

I have absolutely no idea, have never thought about it, I just go out and take pictures when I can, and when I feel like it

Although I take shots everyday, there are more taken during the week (5 days as opposed to 2). Also, my family is together more on the weekends (no work, kids home from school) and we do other things together besides photography.
