It is all about exploring and experimenting. Look for interesting subject, unusual light and shoot from a different angle even if that means going down on my knees for a different perspective. I am reminded of what I learned in one of my photography class - that when one first arrives at a location, to not snap way but rather spend time surveying the place for unique angle, interesting light - sizing and soaking up the image in your head....before you click that shutter.
Wrote an article a little while back on how to get started in photography if one has a limited budget. The article is here and at Helium if you wish to read more.
Enjoy and happy shooting.
