Your first advantage is that you know the game. It took me a while to get comfortable with shooting curling because I didn't understand what was going on.
It's very easy to get comfortable and shoot only one aspect of the game. I get bored very easily if I don't move around between ends and try to shoot the event from as many different angles as possible.
You will know this, but obviously don't move while the rock is being thrown.
Really there is a lot of time to try and get your shot. For example, if you are trying to get a good panning shot you have 16 opportunities to get your timing down during each end. I tend to put aside an end or two in the middle of a match and dedicate it to just panning, by the time it gets to the skips for the last 4 rocks you should have your timing down.

I will also shoot from the behind the hack (end) straight down the ice. If you do two ends you can get shots of the action moving away from you and towards you.

Shooting along the hog line with a longer lens you can get some shots of the curlers calling out to teammates or staring intensely.

Maybe use an end to find a different/more original angle.

Like any other sport, don't forget the celebrations! Curlers tend to show very little emotion during a match, but watch for it when it happens.

And don't forget the crowd! There's nothing quite like curling fans.
