There is only one way to do it. Go out and take some photos. Then go out and take some more. Get up early and stay out till late. Play and have fun. If you see something that
you like take a photo of it. Doesn't matter what it is. The more photos you take the more you understand what it is you like and then you can structure your outings more carefully and with the right equipment to try and get the 'look' you want.
Thats essentially the way I did it. I bought my first SLR (Pentax K-X) in February 2010 and I took thousands of images in my first 12 months. It took me a few months with a camera in my hand to discover I had a tree fetish.
PS Great dog pictures Porga. Lovely mood.
