Some helpful ideas for working through creative block, thanks – and this site is a very useful resource too.

I post my ideas for making pictures on my blog. If you're interested, follow the “Archives” link on the right hand side, then select “Technique” from the Categories listing under the dates, on the left.

Indeed – great suggestion AND examples. Especially that “keep the camera steady” one!

6.) Have kids! - not for everyone I know but they seem to provide great motivation for keeping that camera in hand.

Great post.

Cheers,

My favorite way out of a rut is to intentionally break all the rules for a while. It lets my brain breathe. I find that "normal" shots are easier afterward because I've let the creativeness flow a little.

Another way to say it would be "when in doubt, go all modern art on it!" If you want to wear a beret, that's your choice.

Examples:

"Keep the Camera Steady"

"Focus on your Subject"
