try your photos at different angles, add different people, find simple moble things that you can arrange to create unusual settings, put objects in unusual places and photo them. You will be amazed how cool and totally unique your photos will become when you think outside of the box.

Try taking some different waterscapes. Scenic running rivers, shoot at slow shutter speeds to get different effects of the running water, ocean and lake scenes. There are all kinds of things that you can photograph that have a water theme, and people love them. Hope this helps, good luck.

Well, if you can't drive anywhere amazing, what's the point? But, what do you define as amazing? If by amazing you mean, the Grand Canyon, yeah. For most people, driving to the Grand Canyon is a stretch. But there are many more places not 5 minutes walking distance from where you are right now that are suitable to be photographed. You know, photographic subject material doesn't just "materialize" from thin air, nor will the perfect spot to take a photograph just make itself apparent to you. If you want to find something interesting to shoot, you need to get out and look.

My opinion only.

Start walking or get a bike. You are more observant of your surroundings when you are moving slowly, anyways.
Any where you feel you need to drive to has probably been photographed a million times anyways.
Don't think conventional, look for stand out
colors, forms, lighting in objects and scenes, rather than what you think the masses want to see.

If you are stranded so to speak make the best with what you have. design projects that involve pictures taken in the yard of house.

Sit down to relax and write down what comes to mind as far as creating your own projects. You can share them with someone on the web (like me) to critique.

If is good to think up a project... like I did a study with my camera of Depth of Field (DOF). I set up on a tripod so I could get the same shot each time and took a series of shots using different f-stops form largest to smallest and you could see he effect on the backgroun it had. The wide open one had a blurred background and the small one had full DOF where every thing was in foucus.

You have to think of ways to use your camera to break out of your bordom.

Good Luck,

I do most of my photos out in my front yard using the macro mode on my camera. Bugs, leaves, and flowers show so much detail close up and it's like seeing a whole new world. I also get some great shots at the local zoo. Animals make some of the most amazing subjects.
