I'm relative new (and noob) to photography (around 2 years of practicing alone) and frequently get stuck without ideas or kind of getting bored with my photos. So, lately, I've started to research about some creativity and photographing exercises and got a little hyped again. Do you guys do any kind of exercises and "challenges" for improving your skills/creativity? What do you think about it?

Some examples Ive been doing lately:

- Going out and getting photos completely out of focus, almost unrecognizable, trying to get something aesthetical just by the overview.

- Going on little walks and photographing thinks that you like without stopping to... just for knowing better what is getting your attention.

- Going on a hike and set a timer to every 10 minutes, and have to photograph something in the place you stopped.

Just repeating, Im pretty noob...
