One doesn't always have to hunt around with a camera as siting scope. If you work mostly with prime lenses, you become very familiar with particular fov framing and can previsualize very accurately what the lens will see.
The important thing is to remember to look around. Stop. Then look some more. Often a great photo is right behind your back.
