1. Pick up camera
2. Look through camera
3. Realise lens cap is still on
4. Take off lens cap
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2
6. Adjust the aperture
7. Adjust the shutter speed
8. If step 6 or 7 seems out of whack, go and check my ISO to see if I put it up the last time I took a picture since most of the time I leave it as low as it goes
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 if necessary
10. Take the shot
11. Look at the shot again and see if I got what I wanted
12. If I didn't get the shot I wanted, start over again around step 6
Ok, slightly more seriously, I do actually usually do most of those things. I usually shoot in M, most of the time my ISO is as low as it goes. I don't use any additional meter aside from what's in my camera. I usually leave my WB set to auto unless I check it and see that the colours in the picture aren't coming out the way I want them to. I tend to play with WB at times to give shots different colours than they may have had at the time (especially with sunsets). Thankfully most things have become pretty second nature... aside from having the occasional times where I forget to take the lens cap off before putting the camera up to my face. The only other set of things I do (depending on the subject) is add some flash into the mix. Usually off camera. And last of all, sometimes I'll try different angles and orientations for my shots. And that seems to be my list of how I shoot in general... I think
