"... it's a Camera, not a Machine Gun!"
This is one of the best bits of photography advice I've come across lately. It was tip #10 in a recent Digital Photography School website feature - "Ten Quick and Easy Tips to Improve Your Photography"*.
"Unless you are taking action shots or a time lapse series, try to reduce the number of shots. Don't just fire away hoping for something good to appear during editing. Think, move and adjust your framing before you click the shutter. You'll develop better instincts and save hours of time editing those hundreds of extra images."
I truly do believe this is a great tip to "develop better instincts", but I have to confess it was "save hours of time editing those hundreds of extra images" that really hit home for me. I'm definitely going to keep this in mind and hopefully will get the added bonus of both results!
*The DPS article was written by Amar Ramesh. You can see some great examples of his photography on his facebook page. I especially like his shots of people.
