[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 309553, member: 16844"] I have just had an interesting discussion with a very good photographer; We got on to the subject of preserving clicks and not just taking shots for the sake of it. She believes, and I have heard this from many sources, that preparation is key along the lines of: First think about what you want to achieve and then how you are going to go about it. Okay I get that - I really do and I guess when I have something specific in mind, such as a landscape, I will do it to a degree. That degree is to shoot a number of different shots to see which is best. Clearly silly as I could as easily look through live view without shooting to decide what it will look like. But on the other hand when I don't have anything specific and simply go looking for something which I do almost 90% of the time, such as in my 365, the shot often appears without warning and I have to "have a go." Ironically I find some of these to be my best shots. Be interesting to know everyone's thoughts on this and how you all go about your photography. [/QUOTE]
