I am quite new to photography, I only really started a month or so ago when I finally got my 350d, and consequently still have a "point and shoot" mindset. Don't get me wrong, I try to incorporate basic composition into my photography(rule of thirds, balance, lines, etc.) but my pictures are still along the lines of "oh, that's pretty" 'click.'

I was wondering if you guys had any advice on this? I was told that a good photographer plans their shots. I didn't take it too literally but I do understand what they're saying; good photographers don't rely on lucky captures. Does it just take time to develop this or is there any way to learn how to do this?

Thanks for the replies.
