Being new to this forum, I would like to say hello, and that I’ve spent some time reading a few of the current topics and really enjoy the posts. I can see that there are quite a few very knowledgeable photographers here. Actually, it’s pretty intimidating. I see that most people take an interest in a specific genre of photography, and then learn and grow in that area. I read the topic about the major new upcoming event and am looking forward to reading the articles. I can't think of a better way to gain insight than to read what is going through the photographers mind when planning a photo. My question is, what is the best approach to taking a photograph? Or, does that depend on what the subject is? I have a serious roadblock of being able to visualize what I’m trying to show in an image. I imagine that a gifted photographer can see in their mind exactly what it is that they want to portray in an image before they even take the picture. That must be the hardest thing of all to learn. I'm interested in learning more about taking photos of nature and landscapes, but not only that. Right now I feel I’m stuck with a blank canvas, thus the title of the post.
