I used to like to work up to an approach. By that I mean that I would shoot, adjust my position, shoot again and continue until I felt I had a variety to choose from, and a feeling that at least some of the results would have their own particular strength.
Matt, I think you have hit the nail on the head here, as adjusting your position is a world away to taking multiples in the same position. Add to this timing for your position of choice and you have some of the key ingredients.
