>>2965928I've been shooting since I was 15, im 47 now, and what you say about being hasty is both good and bad in my experience.
As a teenager with a 16mm and a 50mm I found that I got better shots if I immediately shot whatever caught my attention, from where I saw it and immediately. Then I'd walk around it a few times and look at different heights by crouching etc, becasue ultrawide is all about dat perspective, and it changes a lot with minor difference in position and elevation.
Plus of course, the classic rookie bad habit is to listen to all the oldfags who need a tripod and 20 minutes to shoot anyhting.... Don't. Or rather do it after you have ripped off a quickie or two.
These days I shoot almost entirely telephoto, of people in motion, so being both subtle in my motion getting the camera up, and as immediate as possible to shoot after i see something is what gets my best shots. But I still always shoot first and reshoot later with any lens. It's almost always best to be quick first. Often I'm surprised that the first shot i ripped off is any good at all, never mind that it's the best shot. This happens a lot actually.
Do first, think later.
The habit will also prepare you for taking the shots that the 'thinkers' will never, ever take outside of a pre-planned shoot.
