Photography Tips and Tricks - 26 (When Should I Format SD Cards)

The best part of these weekly tips is they are not tied to any series and I can write anything that happens to pop in my head.  So, for this week's random tip:

I tend to leave photos on my camera's SD card until I am about to go on a photoshoot that may exceed the number of pictures left.  For example, if I look at my camera and only have 100 photos left before it is full, I will most likely format it.  This lines up with my backup process to ensure I have many options for recovery.  Especially if I am slow to back up to my extra drives on my desk.
