Default Take several views and shots...

I always take 4 looks before taking a shot with natural light.
Specially on a sunny day:

1. Trough the viewfinder
2. Trough my eye... obvious.. but, sometimes we just look, and don't observe how the subject is composed.
3. Trough the LCD display
4. At the actual photo.

These works with all kind of photos... but i've realized that sometimes we don't take the time to OBSERVE and to actually lay our eyes before take the shot.
Try to imagine how the subject would look trough a different angle, or with a different lightning. Walk around it, go with weird angles, from below, up... be creative and don't be afraid to experiment.

Oh yeah.. and take at least 6 shots of each "scene".
