Moved rapidly round the ring to take pictures (5)

I believe the answer is:

shoot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take pictures' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'moved rapidly round the ring to' is the wordplay.
'moved rapidly' becomes 'sh' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the ring' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring).
'o'+'to'='oto'
'oto' anagrammed gives 'oot'.
'sh'+'oot'='SHOOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shoot that I've seen before include "Kill; part of plant" , "modelling session" , "Fire - new growth" , "Say what you have to say" , "big game expedition?" .)
