Right well... this is around the 8th month ive been into photography (seriously that is.) I seem to have come to some kind of hurdle on the road to being a better photographer. Im getting my technical skills down to a tee now, seeing out of focus and badly composed pictures less and less. I spent most of the summer photographing everything to do with nature and im very happy with my progress in this area.
Now the sunny days are over im moving onto architecture, people, night photography, anything i can think of really, but im finding i have a mental block on any ideas. I often find this happens, i go through a dry spot and i cant seem to come up with anything then it passes and the pictures start coming in but this is very annoying. Last year when i was in college we learned a lot of techniques for maximizing our creativity some of which were actually really useful but its been so long since ive been in a design technology that ive forgotten everything.
Anyways, after that long winded explanation, im just wondering what you guys do when this happens, or if it even happens to you. Does anyone have any specific things they do or ideas they have as to coming up with more creative pictures, what are your creative thought processes before taking a picture. tbh i cant wait to get the uni, i often find people who have done proper courses in photography have a lot more direction and focus due to the fact they have a skilled tutor teaching them (which im sure a lot of people will disagree with)
