Sometimes you just lose your inspiration. Photography can become boring if you have no good ideas. Don't forget to make sure your pictures have a lot of impact by using the Rule of Thirds and Depth of field. Here are some other interesting ideas:

Slow shutter speed

Turn your shutter speed right down to 1 second, or even better, manual, which usually means you hold down the shutter button for as long as you want the shutter to stay open. This can be used very effectively. Try taking abstract pictures at nigh of streetlights, cars and neon signs. Sometimes shaking the camera can produce some very interesting effects. You could also put your camera on a tripod or make sure it is very still and point it towards the road at night, if done properly you will produce a very nice streak like effect.

Look closer

Taking regular pictures all the time are a real bore. So why not get close, you will need a macro lens of some sort or a camera that can focus pretty close. Get so close that you can't actually tell what the object you are photographing. Patterns work especially well. You can also take pictures of small things like bugs, flies and lego people.
