Sorry, I haven't posted on here in a while, life's been crazy. What do you guys do when you feel in a rut. I feel like I haven't shot much good in a while, was wondering if this struck others every now and then. I really want some new pics to test the new printer out, had a go on some old photos, but feel like I'm almost unable to shoot anything good at the moment.

Photographers block............ a quick fix is to buy a new lens and it all happens again........

Try going out to shoot something for the current competition.

I get that and writers' block quite often.

I haven't found a solid cure yet, although for writers' block I find music helps a great deal and for photographers' block, I go for a walk with my camera strapped to my wrist.

Neither always help or are guaranteed to help, but they sometimes to the job.

Best thing to do is just to force yourself to shoot anything get out there
you will be surprised what you bring back

when i started out i got block but i just decided to shoot with a consistent theme, like documenting every garbage bin in Sydney - for it's artistic merits

then i moved on to photographing peoples expresions as they went up a escalator - priceless stuff

Hop in a car drive to any destination with your camera and that will fix.

As long as you aren't relying on it for a living, I say just let it pass. No point in trying to force something INO. I'll go for a little while without taking any photos, and feel just fine with it. Then suddenly I get this insatiable urge to grab photos, or revisit a certain place.

I'd have to say that the purchase of my sigma 10-20 has helped stall any photographer's block though. The great glass sharpness and capabilities make photography never-evending amounts of fun.
