For landscape, nature, and the like, if it's a several hour drive, or a 'I'm
only going to be here once this year and don't know when I'll be back
again', asking the questions after shooting is too late. It doesn't help
'get the shot'.

I guess it depends on the nature of your expeditions, but in general I
find it better to shoot first and ask questions later.
