I have just posted an article on previsualization on my web at:

http://ronbigelow.com/articles/previsualization/previsualization.htm

In this article, I have changed gears a bit. While many of my articles
focus on the technological side, this article focuses more on the art
of photography. I would like to hear your opinion on whether you would
like to see more of this type of article or if you prefer the technical
articles. Send me an email and let me know.

What I've been telling my students is: they should be trying to convey the
feeling they had looking at the light reflecting off the scene in front of
them so the person viewing the print will experience the same feeling. I
think too few photographers spend time previsualizing what the final print
should look like and just -fire and hope-. The "freedom" of digital has
just made this worse.

I think what you are getting at is that auto-everything encourages
people to be picture-takers, not photographers.

I've shot a lot of film, and I've shot a lot of pixels. They both show
the same thing: when I bother to think about what I want from the
image, the results are better by at least a copuple of magnitudes. The
image begins in the brain. If the brain is turned off, so is the
image.
