I read an interesting article on that dreaded creative block, the article can be found at the Black Star Rising site, it's very informative and illustrates a few pointers to get the ball rolling.
This inspired me to take out my Nikon D300 equipped with an 85mm lens, a lens I normally use only for indoor portrait work. This resulted in a very liberating experience. Having a fixed lens is a good visual exercise in seeing and more challenging in forming composition. YOU are now the zoom for the camera... If you need to zoom into a subject you have to move closer to the subject and to zoom out you move away further, simple!
