Getting a bit burned out with the wildlife…. Looking for ideas on a different genre. Obviously i like vehicles but it is hard to get great pics at a meetup or show and don’t have the skills to ask someone for their car to try it out plus i am not super artsy so my car pics come out kinda boring. Don’t care for landscape or astrology.

thoughts and/or suggestions.

When I get in a rut I pick a topic/genre I have either not shot before and/or not shot in awhile. Go on a photo walk in your city and shoot cityscapes or environmental portraits (see Vivian Maier's street photo work), go photograph a local Auto-x or a local sports event (I just did that 2 nights ago myself), pick up marco photography, try product photography, or how about liquid art photography....etc... Of course for me even though I have shot them a lot I love shooting Ballerinas etc...

I find chasing wildlife fun but after a while I want bigger game, pun intended. I want a moose, elk or a buffalo to take pictures of but that requires travel so that is in the future. With the recent comet and full moon opportunities I got the moon decent with my canon but the comet I was only able to use my cell phone to get any pictures, so I need to get the tripod out and do more nighttime sky photography.
So my brain is now into capturing not just the moon but it as part of a bigger picture, because I want one and to be able to say I can do it. Here are a few of what I mean, all 3 taken off of FB as examples.

Hard to go wrong with nudes, but that usually means finding a lady to model. Makes the hobby expensive in a hurry.
