1. Join photography forums. The internet is a great resource for linking people together. Join a photo forum and share pics, tricks and meet some fantastic photo-crazy people like yourself.
2. Enter photography contests online. Contests often give you topics or themes which can give you inspiration when you don't know what to shoot.
3. Plan a trip to your local botanical garden. Plants are great for experimenting with light and tone. If you can't find a botanical garden, go to a garden shop and snap away. There are some really beautiful flowers to take photos of.
4. Look at things through the eyes of creativity. Pick anything and shoot it just to see what it looks like: things around your house, in the refrigerator, etc. The subject doesn't really matter all that much, what matters is how you shoot it. Shoot, shoot and still shoot even more. Digital is cheap.
5. Composition is king. Take time to consider the layout of your image. Imagine the photo in your head. Try and discover new angles and lighting- see things like you've never even thought of seeing before.
6. Plan a trip to a local botanical garden or a zoo. Make sure to visit such places from time to time, - there are lots of things to shoot there.

8. Explore the web. The internet is an amazing resource for visual inspiration. Type anything you can think of into the search engine and see what comes up. The internet gives you access to lots of amateur photographer's work, among them some hidden gems, which will surprise you.
