Well, there's no right or wrong, is there?  What works, works.

Some of my favourite shots have come with me sitting on a bar stool, or in a
cafe, and just looking through the viewfinder.  If something appeals, I shoot.
If not, I either re-frame, or I don't shoot at all.  While walking about, I'll
sometimes think, "there's a good shot".  By the time I look through the
viewfinder, I decide it's not so good afterall.  Sometimes "throwaway" shots end
up being among my favourites.  Some shots that I think are ordinary, people rave
over.

I guess what I'm trying to say, in my usual long-winded and rambling way, is that
there's no rule for these things.  Lots of different approaches work.  Try them
all.

I rarely worry if the first shot, or any subsequent shot, will be a keeper.
Shoot enough, and some will be worthwhile...

cheers,
frank
