I'm nowadays rather intuitive, not thinking much if at all about the situation and the subject.

Sometimes I have to rush a snapshot or take several repeats in case a person blinks, but usually I have 10 seconds or more up my sleeve to prepare for a shot. (Or anticipate a shot: I shoot a fair % of candids with people.)<br /><br />My approach is roughly as follows.<br /><br />Something will catch my eye: I then try to determine exactly what that "something" is and then how to capture it. If I'm clear in my head about the 'what' and the 'how' and there's something interesting / special / important about the scene, I take a shot.<br /><br />Of course, sometimes I can't put my finger on exactly what I like about a scene or I have to guess / experiment about the method. But that's good to ... I take the shot and try to figure it out later. The point is I know I didn't have the shot completely worked out.<br /><br />My current thinking is that by being more deliberate in my picture making I'll improve my seeing skills.
