All excellent advice and good examples There is just one more factor that I've noticed when watching other photographers. Some people, when they've pressed the button and "got the shot", relax, visibly. They relax their grip and stance and take their eye from the viewfinder to look at the subject unobstructed. (looking for fall-of-shot?) Sometimes they appear to begin relaxing their stance right at the moment of release, causing a loss of stability after the mirror rises, but during the actual exposure phase. Follow through. Wait till you see the subject again in the viewfinder after the mirror returns before you say, "Got it!" You might see a change that occurred during that visual interruption; another player entering the field of vision to negate the great move you've just captured and you still have your camera steadied to grab the action. Excellent advice and examples.
