I try to group photos together - since that’s how they’re taken - from an event (birthday, wedding, holiday, etc).
When filling in a collage frame with 4+ photos, I find that they are filled with photos from the same event or holiday.
I also have tried scrapbooking , which is fun, but also time-consuming!

I love continuous shooting. It is useful in avoiding camera shake from depressing the shutter release, since after the first shot, your finger hasn’t moved. It also means that “special moment” won’t be ruined by partially or fully closed eyes. The only drawback is that it eats up storage.

I pretty much always leave my camera in continuous mode. There’s pretty much no reason to not have it there, and when I’m shooting at shutter speed near the cusp of handholdability, I find that at least one of a series of 3 or 4 will be sharp…usually the middle one.

I do shoot continuous for some of the reasons you cited.

I’ve started grouping photos since discovering the options with the flickr and the big huge labs processes

They have a lot of different activities that can be done with photos.

Could be useful in scrapbooking, but not something I’ve done

Another great advantage to continuous mode is the increased sharpness of the “middle” frames. Since this mode reduces natural camera shake, you can lower your shutter speeds and take advantage of that great natural light!

I usually leave my camera in continuous mode except when using the remote. I then make the decision to keep my finger down for multiple shots or release it to just get one. My amateur film background usually kicks in and most of the time, I will only take 1-2 shots at a time due to subconscious “cost” concerns. I also have to be careful not to overrun my buffer and get stuck with missing the shot I REALLY want because my camera was busy writing. Class 6 SD cards and RAW and I still only get about 3-4 shots before it has to write.
