Lesson Learned: Take Two Shots When It Counts

If the moment is important, take two shots. Sometimes people blink and you don't notice it, until you're back at home. Technically in the above instance I didn't have to take two shots since she didn't blink in the first one. If she did, I would have been hosed, so I'm glad I snapped off two shots. Blinking is not the only thing that might ruin a photo. Your subject could be out of focus, the exposure could be way off, the composition might be questionable, or any of a million other problems. Don't trust the LCD. It's easy to miss important details even on a large 3" screen. So if the shot is important, take two (or more) shots just in case.
