are you a shot and move on type or do you agonise over the details the finer points of exposure/composition?
the reason i ask is that i went out tonight for a bit of a scout about at some locations i saw on flickr, wanting to try to recreate them myself. at each location i fired off a couple of different exposures and compositions spending about an hour in total on my little walkabout and coming back with about 15 images so by that basis you would think 4 minutes per shot.
but now i'm sifting through the images, i'll check my settings for the ones i like then head back, weather permitting to try to improve upon the night befores efforts. but not before spending tomorrow in work thinking about what i want to achieve when i head back out. maybe another hour or more tomorrow night again with the camera and the cold hands.
so my couple of shots actually have a couple of hours 'in the field' so to speak, the hours daydreaming in work, plus the time to edit and they take up quite a bit of time. not that i mind because i'm still learning and in time i hope i become more efficient with my time management as my skills and eye for a shot improve, but for now i'm enjoying myself.
to me if i get one shot i'm really happy with i consider all the crap ones to have been worth the effort.
how does this compare to your workflow when planning shots? do you plan your shots or just go walkabout and see where you end up? i know there is no 'normal' way to go about thing like this as everyone is different, so whatever your prefered method is i'd love to hear it.
