Next time - change focal length
The next time you go out looking for a neat picture to take, change lenses. Put on a fixed focal length lens that you don’t typically use. It will help you see the world in a new way. This is not my idea, I’ve read it before, but it works. I went to Greenfield Village and carried my (then new) Nikon D100 with a wide angle lense. My favorite lens is a mild telephoto, 70 to 85 mm. The normal 50mm lens on my D100 is about a 65 or 70 when you factor in the image sensor size. This picture was a direct result of putting a lens on that I did not use a great deal and seeing what I could shoot with it.
