[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 458711, member: 14443"] [I]usually [/I]I see a situation and out of experience, I know how I want the image. I know the lens I want and the proper focal length. sometimes I come to shoot it and im not happy with it and I have to adjust it a bit with focal length and aperture or lighting. other times I see a situation and take a lens that will give the rough perspective I want. I look around/scope the scene to see where I should start, then walk around. I play with the focal length and my angle. try higher, try lower, left, right. I can usually shoot a scene with a few completely different "looks" and "feel" altogether. and I always try to do that. selective focus, shallow DOF, compression, exaggerated perspective. and I also consider flash as well if need be.
