Creating a interesting shot not only it required a level of photographic skill and post processing skill, you need luck. Luck on the weather, the lighting and the moments of person's reaction.
Shooting at high bust give you more chance and selections of events happening in that period of time frame.
Usually how i compose my shot, i pick a subject which my friend, Soo Chin, comes into the picture. Using my 70-200mm lens, i fired away 10 frames at a roll with shutter speed of 1/500 on Shutter priority mode in AI servo focusing. Having shooting all 10 frames, i am able to select the best frames among all 10. In moments of events, every seconds counts. If you are slow, you will miss it.
To have strong contrast image, i shooting at -1/3 stops and i further push it's contrast level higher via post processing, like using Photoshop. High contrast level gives a higher detail in texture, and also giving a harsh image and mood.

Remind me to ask you what -1/3 stops means. I like your contrasty, dark, beautifully lit photos:)
