Following on from the deep and meaningful dizzzzcussion on the Phil of Photography forum, I'd like to gauge members' opinions on how well you know your subjects before you trip the shutter.

Are you, eg, someone who shoots a scene (or subject) as you see it (and edits afterwards) or, do you have some idea of what you want to shoot, some pre-visualization of a scene (based on light, mood- your own and others, equipment available, location, purpose- etc), and, if it's not as you hoped, do you take note and revisit the scene later?
<i>Is knowing your scene important?</i>
