When I was taking photos this week I realized I was thinking less about lighting and the rule of thirds, and more about getting the best angle and distance for the shot. I tried to practice with the focus of the picture and played with layering (having the subject in the background in focus with something in the foreground). I think with time and practice we will all see the photos more naturally, but for now I keep looking for a great facial expression or gesture to capture the moment rather than setting up the shot. I figure, the more pictures I take of the moment, the more likely I am to get a great photo out of it. But maybe I’m wrong…I guess we’ll find out!

You know, as I took photos this weekend, I’ve found myself doing the same thing you mentioned: gathering “usable shots” as you say. Nothing earth-shattering, but definitely not horrific. The thought process, as you mentioned, blows my mind as well. I take the smallest things into consideration now; things I never would have looked at, even if I was just standing there. The attention to detail is almost frustrating to me. Glad to know someone else is having similar experiences peering through the eye of a camera lense.
