I think that this, for me, would be going out and shooting nearly every day. Perhaps I'd keep the same lens on, sometimes I'd chance the lens. Just the act of being there would afford me the opportunity to try different things. If I'm at home watching TV, or blogging and not shooting, those opportunities would never present themselves and the camera would sit in the bag with the same lens, day after day.

If you find yourself suffering from creative blockage, perhaps a teaspoon of Metamucil is order, or a lens change. :-) I feel that I have the right lens on the camera as long as I am still feeling creative and getting what I want. I will change sometimes, just to make sure that I remember what a particular lens does. Mainly this is the 11-18 that I'm talking about. I like the distortion and it works really well on subject like the one in this post as well as the waterwheel in the previous post. Excellent choices and use of the distortion. You obviously know when to use them. So it's cool to have and keep them in your arsenal. An excellent post. It spawned another one for me. Thanks for the material!
