Just curious to see what other people use to take their photos. Little mini survey for ya. Also could help some of the newbies who are looking for some answers and tips.
My answers:
1. What camera mode do you use to capture your photos?
2. In what situations do you use those modes? Why?
3. If you use Manual settings, what settings do you seem to use the most?
4. If you edit your photos, what do you use and what do you play with?

My answers:
1. I switch between Auto/No-Flash and Manual. I have yet to play with the other single letter modes too much. Played with them in class a year ago and that was about it.
2. If its something I don't have to snap quickly and I'm in a patient mood, I'll use Manual so I can play with everything. If it's something that's moving a little faster and/or the weather (brightness) is constantly changing, I might use Auto/NoFlash.
3. When I use manual I tend to go between Bulb-30Seconds for strobes and whatnot. For regular stills, I'm probably around a 100 (what's it called..uhh..brainfart>_<) shutter-speed setting and like a f/5-10 depending on lighting and focus.
4. I used to have Photoshop but then my comp crashed...so now I use GIMP 2 which works quite well. I tend to play with the Curves, Levels, Brightness/Contrast and if I'm feeling creative I'll play with the colors.
