Hello,
Was looking for inspiration and decided to go for a walk with just my Macro lens. I find if I limit myself to just one lens with limited capability it forces me to be creative when I shoot. How do you force creative inspiration? Here are some samples of photos I took:

I find if I have to "force" creativity it really works for me. If I am in a rut (and it happens often) going through some of my older images or even watching youtube videos and digging through the older forum posts I can sometimes find something to fire me up or inspire me.
Like the first one the most, the DoF and colours are great.

Because we are all photographers, and photography is a creative process, we are all creative by nature. Our mood dictates the direction of our creativity at any particular time. It's recognising that creativity that's the trick - sometimes it's hammering on the back door of our subconscious but we are too pre-occupied with other things to notice. We should pay more attention.
Of course, carrying a camera at all times will help force that attention to the fore.

The last photo seems to me the most successful, in fact it is not easy to get such a beautiful picture unexpectedly!
