Come on people, admit it, everyone has bad habits, share here.

Astin - always forget to put back the lens cap after a shoot/outing.
 

Take too long in getting round physically to shooting an idea/composition...
Longest "milling over an idea" time so far - 2 years!
 

Lazy/forgot to write down exposure values..;p using film..

Regards
 

taking too long to compose, worrying abt DOF, shutter, aperture through the viewfinder till my hands start to shiver, my mind gets erratic and the subject gets bloody irritated. Basically screwing up the shot.


Also... being too immerse shooting that you girlfriend gets real pissed when u run after birds, crocs or whatever, leaving her behind.

Also... using my girlfriend's head as a automated tripod for slower shutter speeds.
 

(1) like to collect dust particles on the sensor
(2) focus wrong place
(3) got more lenses than I need
(4) got more battery than I need
(5) got more memory than I need
(7) got more focal length than I need
(8) got more bags than I need
(9) click more than I need
(10) flash more than I need
(11) and finally, BUY BUY BUY more than I need
 

Presses trigger too hard & release too quickly. Final picture always rotated anti-clockwise by a few deg.
 

- Spend too much time composing the subject until the subject runs off (especially true for macro of insects) :embrass:

- Jam down on the shutter release button too hard, resulting in blur pics.

- Half-press the shutter release button too many times b4 taking the shot (coz I'm always worried abt the focus lol) ;p
 

not too sure if this is a bad habit

I spot lock the exposure and foucs then I zoom my len and compose

Sometime the subject become unfocused
 

always forget to charge my batteries :embrass:
 

Always trigger happy and out the window goes the basics! :(
 

Take 3-5 months to finish one roll of slide film.
 

Too obsessive with my camera... :lovegrin:
Every nite I'll admire my cam & fire a few empty rounds (no film) just for the sake of enjoying the mirror slap... :D

"My EOSSSSSSSS.......My preciousssss.........." :devil:
