[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 309565, member: 9240"] I'm very much inclined to agree with her when it comes to what I consider my "serious photography". I've taken to thinking about and planning for photos that I want to take, and when I do I find that they consistently come out better than I'd hoped - or I learn a valuable lesson in the process. That said, I'm still someone who carries a camera everywhere, including out on the deck with me in the evening, and I'll typically fire off 20-50 shots and toss most and even all of them. I'm not a fan of "spray and pray", but that's not to say I've never used it. At the same time, photography as a hobby has many connotations, and over-thinking your work can often set your own bar too high and lead to disappointment when you don't have the tools yet to learn from the failures. Enjoying it is the key element, and you can do that with or without the planning. [/QUOTE]
