The trick, I've found, is to go right ahead and shoot. If you find yourself thinking you're shooting the same thing too much, stop right where you are, and drastically change something. I'm finding myself shooting dark and heavily shadowed images, so this Friday I'm headed into the great outdoors to shoot. When I find myself in the middle of a shoot and things feel static, I'll switch the lights around and jump up on a chair, or sit on the floor, or do something else to force myself to look at exactly the same thing from a different perspective.
And don't fool yourself, even the best shooters on the board have plenty of dreck in their history...
It still boils down to not shooting enough!
