This section required the development of 'powers of observation and anticipation' of what may be coming next, on the whole this exercise taught me the need to select the correct settings on the camera, for patience and the need for fast reflexes along with a fast shutter speed, I also needed to feel confident to shoot freely as often the anticipated 'moment' that I intended to capture may have ended up being one not anticipated.
Train Your Gaze, Roswell Angier p33.
'With human subjects, the moment is always decisive in matters of framing. The photographer arranges the information found in the camera's viewfinder, often intuitively and extremely quickly, in a way that seems appropriate to his sense of the quality of the instant. Henri Cartier-Bresson coined the term "the decisive moment."
