The folks who do street and people photography are going to be posting some awesome images, so lets get my paltry submission out of the way right now!
Image 2 of a six-burst series, shot a couple of days ago. Canon SX50.
Author says, Knowing your subject also helps tremendously, as it enables you to predict when something might happen. I have learned that large raptors appear to do a slight crouch to help push off into their launch, so I look for that body language + they will often jettison an impressive stream of poo to lighten their take-off load :)

This is going to be hard for me because I never shoot in burst mode. Of course, we always learn more when we do something outside our comfort zone, so I'll give it a go, and report back. I should have read ahead and done this one while I was in New Orleans, so now I reckon I'll have to go back under the dam...

I am always shooting in burst mode at/when :
The motor racing,
shooting birds in flight,
and those times you expect someting to happen but do not know exactly when.
As Linda says know your subject helps a real lot, and sometimes can be critical.
Also never removing your eye from the viewfinder also helps in catching "moments"
Being "at one" with your camera also helps.
These are from the archives, two very different exampoles of "moments",
#1 At a motor sport event - part of a sequence (the rider was ok and rode back to the pits when the race was finished)
#2 Knowing your subject helps a lot. I had shot a lot of rehearsal of this opera, La Traviatta, and this was from the second performance (my wife is in this pic) so I knew what was comming). Proably shot 1 or 2 pics of this "moment" - you cannot shoot in burst mode whist covering classical music concerts/opera performances.

I rarely use the burst mode for any of my shooting so this is a different type of exercise for me. Knowing what my schedule is going to be like for the next week or so I don't know if I will be able to get out to shoot something that fits for this chapter. I did however, practice this very topic in a shoot I did just a couple of weeks ago. I shot over 1,500 images while at an equestrian event. Here are a couple of shots from burst sequences that I felt were the best in the series and captured that peak moment.

I was the same but got a lifetime ban from competing with the local athletics club!
Superb capture by the way and technically brilliant.

dynamic balance - the moment.
Your animal/creature shots are just something else.

Whilst slowly cruising around on my little motor bike this guy literally crawled out of a ditch at the side of the road. Did a U turn and grabbed a burst of shots. Entitled "One too many" or "Been there done that".
Good to see ol Chamin back on the well tried and tested route rather than see the poor boy floundering around with a concept he appeared to have little knowledge of. But God loves a trier so lets not judge him harshly.
