Is Shooting RAW Making Me A Lazy Photographer?

I almost always shoot RAW. Editing is so much easier in RAW. But is it hurting me in the long run? I never really worry about shadows or light. I can fix it in post. I don't worry that it isn't cropped well. I can fix it in post.

So, I decided to go out and make a conscious effort to get what I wanted in camera and not just in Lightroom. For the first time I was using the EV adjustment regularly. Trying to compose for the crop ahead of time. And, I think I had a much more enjoyable experience.

No, these images are not "great." They aren't even interesting, for the most part. But the experiment wasn't about that. It was about trying to get in camera what I usually go through hoops of adjustments for in Lightroom.
