[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 15575, member: 654"] I usually take multiple shots of a scene, variations of exposure and depth of field, especially if I'm shooting for a HDR, which is often. I seldom look at the LCD screen. When I do it's to check the white balance I'm looking for. Once in a while I will check the histogram RGB channel to see what changes occurred with a shot variation. Of course the book writer wants you to think he always gets it right the first time. Ego or not, he won't sell many books if he comes off looking like a dummy, "O gee I had to shoot that one five times to get it right." I probably should check the LCD screen more often. That fault comes from my original photo training with film cameras over about thirty years, no LCD screen to look at, and having to wind the film forward for the next shot. With the cost of film, processing and printing you had to get it at least by the second shot or go broke before you figured out what you did wrong. I don't look at taking multiple shots of a scene as not getting it right the first time but being able to look at several shots to see which one is more right than the others. [/QUOTE]
