Beautiful shot. Love the highlights. Been a long time since I shot Kodachrome, would have thought this was Portra 400
How do you get the shot in 4 frames or less?

Ah ok... I take as many as I need. Of course if it's a still life, maybe it is better to prepare than to just keep firing away. However, if it is something that moves and the scene constantly is changing...I will photograph until I think I get what I want or I think it isn't going to happen. Sometimes it only takes one try. Sometimes it takes me a few trips (and many photos) to really realize the potential of a place.

No more than two of the exact same composition, with a different shutter speed or f/stop. Once I start looking at a wall of identical images, my brain goes foggy and I lose interest, instantly. I hate editing. I prefer taking just one good shot and leaving it be. This is how I always scouped my competition when I was in the Navy and got stuff out before others. It worked for me then and now that I'm no longer a pro, it works better now.

Even in digital, (except for sports) I never took more than 2 or 3.
But to further reduce that, shoot film. You will quickly learn to do your thinking and composing first, instead of in post-processing.
Now, I either get the shot in one try (80%) or blow it in one try. In the cases where I blew it, another 3 attempts would usually not get it for me, so no regrets.
I like candid street and family photos, so it is more a matter of having the camera set and having the reflex to shoot at the right moment.

Scenario 1. Gear for sale. I do not use bracketing. I take and review, re-take.
Scenario 2. Street. I have no plans to publish Magnum contact sheets of my own.
Scenario 3, 4. Portraits, landscapes. Same as Scenario 1.
Scenario 5. BIF. AF in Servo, dedicated AF button and continuous shooting on shutter button press.

I'm very tolerant of mediocrity. I don't "get the shoot" all the time, but I can easily live with that. I still have a great time. Benefit of being a weekend snapper.
My philosophy towards self-improvement is to try again next time, which, incidentally, is a lot easier to do with film cameras where results are visible only after development.
