In some way it can work in the other direction too: Some weeks back, I walked through a bit of forest with my camera, with the intention to make some nice shots. I was always automatically framing the shots in my mind, and there was always something that prevented me from actually taking a shot... The light wasn't good, it was too dark, a beautiful colored flower was surrounded by ordinary nettles, the perspective wasn't good, the reflections in the pond were too highlighted... and so on. I left the forest without even taking one shot. But that wasn't the reason for my feeling bad... I felt bad because I forgot to look at the forest for what it is... a glorious piece of nature, full of peace and calm and energy... and I hadn't noticed it.
