When do you delete?

When you are out shooting. Do you delete directly from your camera any photos that look bad? Or do you wait until you get home to delete?

I wait until I get home to delete.

i delete direct from the camera, if i take 3 or 4 shots of the same image/vista then a quick scroll through gives you a pretty good idea of which the better one are and which can just be deleted directly. then i whittle them down further at home to get my final choice

I delete while I am out shooting (if I look at the pictures) and I delete when I get home.

A bit of both. I initially fire off a few shots to check settings and delete the ones that are well out. I do this each time I change to a new subject then do final deletions at home. Some that look poor can sometimes be saved in processing so never too quick to delete from the camera.

I edit at home... Last weekend I did run out of memory and was not near finished so I did weed out some in the camera. Unless I see I'm getting low on memory I save my battery for more shots.

I delete on computer. I have multiple memory cards on me so memory is never a problem.

I delete on the computer only, the LCDs are fairly good now but still lack the detail the monitor does. Also deleting in camera is not good for the card, it can eventually cause artifacting in photos. My procedure is upload and Format in camera. Formatting preps the card for fresh images deleting doesnt do that it only eliminates the Meta Data for that photo and only over writes it.

Sometimes if I have time between shots I'll get rid of the obviously bad/blurred ones if I have any. I do the major weeding PP though.

Let's see.......If I shoot say 200 snaps, on average I delete about 100 in camera, the other 100 on computer...:unsure:

(always on computer)

Why so serious?

I delete on the computer and reformat in the camera after uploading.

All the freakin' time man, like totally. I'm a chimp-a-holic man... and deleting is a byproduct of excessive chimping.

I will delete the obvious ones from camera on location, then the rest on computer.
