What is your worst habit in photography?

Mine is filling the frame. Back when I was first learning photography, the teacher encouraged us to "fill the frame". He wanted us to make bold statements -- get close to the subject and fill the frame with your main subject. This carries over to haunt me at times. I have to make myself back off a step or two and leave more space around my subject than when I first start to shoot. With 45 mpx. to use, I can always crop to attain the look I want so there is no reason to shoot as close as I do at times. I find this problem usually occurs when shooting flowers. I want to isolate a single flower and will zoom in to eliminate an adjacent flower. It would be perfectly fine to get that second flower in the shot and then crop it out in PP. What one thing would you like to correct when shooting?

Mine is a straight horizon! I always check, double check even before taking the shot.
And 5 out of 10 I stuff it up. can usually be fixed in pp but hate that.

For reasons unknown to me I have to go to the bathroom before I begin shooting.

Thinking a new camera or lens will produce better pictures.

Lately I've been more concerned about a "latest" lens or camera or system instead of just going out and taking photos. I'm in the process of selling all of my Nikon gear (bodies and lenses) and Fuji XT-4 and gear. I've been fortunate in that I could (and did) buy whatever I wanted, tried it for a while and then sold it (which is why most all of the stuff I sell is pristine). TO ME it made more sense and was more enjoyable than renting. I'm keeping my R6 and RF lenses and a couple of Sonys (RX10 MK IV and A6000 and my granddaughter's A6000 <so that we can swap lenses>). Paul (CHG_CANON) talked "me down from the ledge" on more than one occasion when I ordered the Z9 and the R3. The advice he gave me made perfect sense for what I do. Anyway that's my worst habit. Is it a coincidence that it happened after I joined UHH...I think not. Before UHH I used a D60 that I owned for years and was perfectly happy with and took great photos with. I still enjoy the forum and wouldn't miss it for a day.

Thank you Ray! I was coming to say my worst habit was hanging out on UHH, but maybe it's my best?

I have a couple: Thinking my old equipment isn’t good enough when it is, and thinking I need to subscribe to the newest LR when I don’t.
Fortunately, for me, I have not succumbed and keep plugging along happily with my old stuff. As the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it."
