I think that one of the things that is happening here is that we're
getting comments from photographers of different genres.
Bingo ! I think there is quite a mixture of genres on the list and what
works for one doesn't necessarily work for others.
One on the reasons I don't regularly respond to other than outdoor/ wildlife
pesos.

A developing theme certainly seems to be forming: that of slowing it down,
taking your time, "getting it right".
And that's great advice.
There are situations, however, where that just isn't possible. A photo
will appear for a very brief time and if you don't snap ~now~ it will be
lost forever. The choice is sometimes between getting the (technically
imperfect) photo and getting nothing.
At times like that it's important to be as prepared as possible by
understanding the "prevailing conditions" and being as ready as possible
to do almost anything in a very short period of time. If you snap and the
photo is "still there" be ready to then consider what adjustments might be
important in the time you have to re-adjust.
I think that one of the things that is happening here is that we're
getting comments from photographers of different genres. Obviously a
studio photographer, a sports photographer, a nature guy and a PJ all have
different standards of technical requirement, different equipment
available to them and different time frames in which to work.
Cheers,

Mark!
When I want the best technical quality in my photos, I use a tripod,
focus critically (manually), and use a light meter to assess the
correct exposure.
More important than all of that, I slow way down and think carefully
of what I'm trying to achieve first, form a plan to achieve it, then
execute the plan carefully.
