Saw this on Facebook, thought it would make for interesting discussion here.
What is your worse Photographic Habit?
Mine is too many wide angle landscape shots. I have to force myself to use longer focal lengths to get more detail shots.
Mine is not taking my time, but I have to catch up to the other half after each shot, so not much time is spent on the setup. I guess if I can ever slow down, it will be a piece of cake.
Posting things on this web site that I felt would help new photographers.
I dont truly know if this is bad. I have been told i dont make people look at the camera but i am not taking posed portraits i like candid shots. Am I wrong?
Assuming I know what I am doing.
1) Not having a camera with me most/all the time. (Yeah, the phone camera is good, but not really good enough - nor wide, nor long, etc. etc.)
2) Using a tripod. (The monopod is always with me, but I almost always forget the tripod)

Not wrong. It's what you like to shoot.

How about spending too much time on UHH instead of going out and shooting?

Nope, the idiots who tell you that are wrong.
Mine would be not taking my time. I am learning to force myself to get set up, camera and lens settings correct, then shoot. Primarily photographing birds lends itself to this bad habit. Always worried that if you don't get the shot it may be gone. Once you realize that if the setting are wrong you won't get the shot anyway you can start to overcome this.
