I've always got something nearby to take pictures with....the camera, iPad, or phone. Not many of them make it onto the forum, compared to how many I actually take.
I've found that the camera (I've been told its the image processing software) in my iPad does a fantastic job correcting for glass distortion. So if I want to take a picture of something and can only achieve it through a really extreme angle with the glass (ie peering down into a shell to see eggs), I do better with the iPad. Also, it behaves pretty well in low light. The downside is that the large iPad in front of the tank really freaks them out.
99% of what I take with my phone just sucks, but occasionally there's something I can use.

I usually do a session every couple of months. I end up with 100 to 200 shots.

I am sure I will do it more once I get around to picking up a real camera. Right now I mainly just use my phone to take pics to send to people when they ask about my fish.

I feel like the only correct answer to this is "Not often enough" 
I try to take a FTS at least every couple of months and every month or two I do a shoot on my fish.

Nah, no judgment implied. I'm genuinely just curious.I feel like the only correct answer to this is "Not often enough"
Interesting on the iPad Christine. Thanks for the tip!

Go back a few years and I used to take photos all the time.
Now it seems like I do it maybe every 6 months or so.

I voted for quarterly, though generally go in spurts. New fish, tank rearrangements, or going to someone else's house for the first time generally generate motivation to take pictures.
For posting them up, I need to get off my lazy butt and start doing it again.
