Question : Why didn’t you take photographs recently?
Typical Answer : Nothing to shoot.

Is this true? I would say this is common among us photographers who has been shooting for quite a few years.?When we first started on our hobby, we shoot almost anything and anywhere.? After a few years, we have the “been there, done that” feeling. Then the?camera and?lens started to gather dust at home. ?

How to fix this? A few suggestions :

• Look in the papers for new events. The world is always changing. There is always different reasons to hold different events. Go shoot such events.
• Go at different time to the same old location. Different timing in the day or night gives you different level of light.
• Go with a different lens. Different lens give you different perspective. How about just shooting using ONLY 200mm focal length at the landscape or street scene. Challenge yourself.
• Try a different kind of camera. eg Rangefinder, Holga
• Go travelling
• Go to a different park to shoot your landscape or nature shots.

GIve me any other suggestions.
