Once you are fluent in the use of your camera and software it allows you to interpret scenes as intended. To be fluent with a camera means having command of the exposure, and other relevant, controls so that you're able to 'see' the potential in a scene then set up quickly for an exposure. Understanding the DRAMATIC POTENTIAL in a scene helps lead us to the photograph we want to create.
This fluency comes from regular practice, experience and experimentation.
