2. Read the Manual. It’s not just Photoshop that can do all sorts of things that you don’t know about. Your camera probably has more settings and functions than you know… or know what to do with. You might find a lot of new ideas in the middle of your camera manual.Modern digital cameras are really quite sophisticated. I have not explored all functions of my old Pentax Optio W10 yet.
8. Hit the Water. You don’t have to be a scuba diver to shoot underwater images. You just need waterproof housing and access to the sea, a swimming pool or even a pond. And once you’re wet, don’t forget to look up as well as down. Some of the most inspiring images can be taken at the point where the light hits the surface of the water.
The suggestion should not be surprising for readers of the Paddling with a Camera blog where my article was originally posted. This corresponds to my simple recipe for inspiration in photography: go paddling !
And, finally the last one:
60. Buy New Equipment. And if all else fails, you can always use cash. A burst of new ideas always seems to come free with a new lens.
No comments here ... But, I will be writing soon about some new gear in my photography.
Brian Auer is much more concise in "My Top 5 Sources of Inspiration in Photography". Here is my summary of his article: accomplishments of mankind + beauty of nature + other photographers + challenge + my kids. You can find more inspirational posts in his excellent blog - Epic Edits, A Photography Resource for the Aspiring Hobbyist.
If you still need more inspiration or something more general, check "110+ Resources For Creative Minds" by Skellie from Skelliewag.org. That list should satisfy you.
