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.

I'm right with you on this one..i also point and shoot but try to capture something i think is special Time for me to start learning about DOF and EXIF's and all the photographic lingo
