I should have proof read that before i sent it. Here it is again in a form
that makes sense :)
I think my method is similar to your new style, only when i have
time though. I like to if possible shoot a lot of shots of the same subject
varying my position and settings, i like to try and explore the subject as
best I can. I think this has improved my amount of keepers and my
understanding of the subjects i'm shooting.
