Bought a new camera over the weekend, now I'm itching to get out and use it. Problem is living in Milton Keynes I can think of SFA to go out and shoot. Have car will travel, Anyone got any ideas?

My cats have already told me to get knotted sticking that camera in their faces ;)
 
If it were me I would just head out to the nearest countryside and start snapping away, landscapes, flowers, people walking...whatever :) if is a brand new camera chances are you might come home with anything amazing, but I would just go for shooting as much variety as possible to see what the camera can do :)
 
wash the car, take the camera and zoom in on the droplets on the paintwork?

look around the house droplet shots etc. setup camera on a tripod in one corner of the room take multiple shot of you doing different things and group the shots together ( it does have a name but cant remember for the life of me)

just a few things

This is the regular "I have nothing near me to shoot" problem !!

I live on the edge of Preston with rolling countryside to one side, Blackpool 20 miles in one direction, several parks, southport, formby and all manner of other stuff but there is nothing near me either :bonk:

You get so used to seeing things that are near to your house that you forget what is worth shooting.

I did put a suggestion forward on TP about a new section "What to shoot in each area" then people can post examples and I think it is being looked at.

I would go cow spotting...... You said they don't move well use that you your advantage, what about some long exposure shots of the cows with everyone/everything moving around or something like that.
 
Whenever I go to somewhere new, I tend to see ordinary things as 'unusal' try to do the same around your local area.

Be a tourist and take shots of 'mundane' subjects.
Just walk, (I know it's not easy in MK, I used to work there) and try and see the interesting in the everyday. Carry your camera at the ready and just look for shots.

It can be quite a challenge :D
 
Go out to one of our wonderful lakes, as you like moving things their is the wakeboard/cable tow at willen
 
Hang on a sec.. Woburn Safari park is only 15 minutes drive from Milton Keynes isnt it?

Next time your bored pm me, I'm in Buckingham, plenty round here to point a camera at. If the worst comes to the worst and none of it interests you we'll sit on the Tingewick bypass and you can shoot cars.
 
countryside...inner space...
