I used to take so many more shots when I used my Nikon with the rotating LCD screen, I could never quite tell how it was going to look until I got it up on the computer but now with my new SLR, I had to get used to using the viewfinder all over again. Oh drat! I thought I would really miss that LCD but I was happy to discover that now I can see exactly what the shot is going to look like and often I end up taking only one shot because I see that I like it already. I can be heard talking to myself, 'ohhh, that one's gonna be purdy". Thankfully, I am alone :-)
Some of my favorite shots I have taken within the last couple of weeks are in the late afternoon, with the sun lower in the sky. Makes wonderful soft lighting. I rarely shoot in the middle of the day unless it's slightly overcast, just too harsh.
