[QUOTE="N_Addy, post: 72928, member: 9985"] You think you get "shooter's-block"? I started a 365(+1) project in January and it has been a REAL struggle to come up with something to shoot every day. This project has really made me push my creative envelope. I've been forced to look at what might otherwise be boring subjects in a whole new way. One of the things I've forced myself to do is to learn to get close. I mean real close. Take a subject that you would normally shoot from a distance (if at all) and compose the shot by framing on just one small piece of the subject. Often this tells a more interesting story than just taking a snapshot of the entire subject. This really expands your creative options. Even the most boring subjects suddenly become interesting. Often it comes down to what you leave out, rather than what you put into a shot. Less is more.
