In search of my photo mojo

Had the sensor cleaned on the 5D and yet I still hadn’t taken any pics for a while.

It was a 40 degree day but with a cool front coming through. I took the gamble that the clouds and light would be good.
Threw the cameras into the ‘cruiser and went and spent a couple of hours on the highway and backroads down around Cowell.

Here are a few of my favourites.

Andrew, I too am in search of my former enthusiasm. For the past year or so, I've substituted buying new camera systems for getting out and shooting. I had a 6D-based system, with Zeiss ZE21, Canon 24-105L/IS, and 70-300L/IS, but early last year switched to a Sony a7R and a bunch of, initially, primes but then Zony zooms, but the camera turned out to be so clunky-feeling and technically challenged that I bought a Sony a99-based system and sold the a7R stuff. Then Samsung announced the NX1 and, having had an NX20 a few years ago, I bought that and the big premium S-series midzoom and a couple less-expensive lenses. I'm now accumulating premium Canon lenses* and odds-n-ends for a 5DSR. I have a couple foto trips in the planning stages--to The Palouse area of eastern Washington state this May/June...

...in October.

Maybe spending many-thou$and$ on new gear will get me going again.

I like your first pic but probably would have moved to the right to move the two cacti slightly to the left...they're sort of distracting to me. The third teases me--I'd really like to see more of that old building. The skies in numbers 2 and 3 are gorgeous.

Good luck on finding your 'mojo'.

The parallels between musician and photographer are remarkably similar . . . especially when it seems that your work is feeling a bit stale. Sometimes setting my guitar (or camera) aside is the best solution. In a week or three, you pick it back up and almost magically find a fresh approach.
It looks like your search for some renewed mojo isn’t too far off! Lovely captures!
Best wishes!

Looks like your on your way to finding your mojo

Nice shots. I especially like the smooth , subtle tonality in the first image where you shoot in diffuse light.
