UKC

Lots of gear-head threads at the moment. Let's see some images.

So what is getting your mojo going photographically at the moment? Your own stuff or other peoples is good.

I have lost my own mojo recently (apparently coinciding with spending a bloody fortune on an upgrade to my gear ) so need some outside inspiration!

In reply to taine: I know what you mean , sometimes the inspiration just isn't there but it always comes back , a change of scenery often helps to look at things with fresh eyes . here's a few of my favourite images from the last few weeks

In reply to Nadir khan:

Very nice thanks for sharing. I love that first one especially!

Maybe I could get more mojo if I was in the mountains! Hmm where's my holiday card...

In reply to taine:

I've got a couple of developed films waiting for some darkroom treatment at the moment - they're full of zoo animals - but I'm mostly busy pondering about a new project that's something of a departure for me.

Again, not particularly linked to what I do, but this chap's work is great: http://jamortram.posterous.com/

In reply to Tall Clare:

excellent. I enjoyed your previous forays in this area.

good luck with the pondering

In reply to taine:

This lot include tigers and many monkeys (and a couple of rhinos) (oh, and some giraffes). South Lakes Wild Animal Park is very good for getting pretty close to the animals.

In reply to Nadir khan: Very nice indeed - some cracking shots there and as above that first one's sweet.

Taine - one of the things that's worked for me when I'm in a bit of a rut is to force myself into a particular box so that you have to do something different and get creative. Try using a lens you haven't used for a while and only that (my nifty fifty's good for this one as it rarely makes it onto the body but takes great shots when I do - thanks for reminding me of this!), perhaps aim only to shoot in b/w and really look for the contrasts and patterns, or go to a location you wouldn't nomrally go to (if you like mountain scenery, experiment with gritty urban...) - it's suprising how it can help to bring the fun back into it when it forces you to think differently.
