I want to get a camera but I can't find anything to photograhp?

I'm interested in getting a nikon camera, I have enough money for one but I haven't bought one yet, for the past week I've borrowed my friends camera to get a feel for one and decide wheather or not to get one.

The first day I got the camera I probably took 150+ pictures. Now that I've had the camera for a week I've been taking less and less pictures. I haven't lost interest it's just there's nothing to take pictures of.
When I do get a good picture I get happy and I show it to my family.

My questions are:

Should I go ahead and buy the camera even though there isn't massive ammounts to photograhp? (I walk in the country side and thought woods etc)

When you started off as an amateur did any of you have the same attitude I'm having?

I take a lot of pictures of my grandkids, my dog and scenery.

I do not know?

Maybe you have found that photography is not for you. For us enthusiasts, there's no end to things we want to photograph. Look on Flickr. The possibilities are endless. There are several groups that have periodic themes, such as Theme of the Week.

Or an ongoing list of challenges and projects.

If nothing inspires you, maybe you should thank your friend for saving you a lot of money.

Nobody who can't see beyond Nikon should be allowed to own a camera anyway.

I started photography to see how something would look like in pictures so from the start, everything from everywhere was a subject. Too bad a roll of film only had 36 shots so I had to pick my subjects very carefully. Boy if I had digital then I would have shot everything I saw.

You have to develop an "eye" for photography… It will come over time.

To help develop your eye, challenge yourself by playing a game. On the first day, photograph everything you see that has the color RED in it. Perhaps the second day, photograph everything round… The third day, photograph things having a pattern (perhaps a row of cars, etc), and so on.

Once you start looking for specific things to photograph, you will soon be seeing everything from a photograph's perspective, and that is the start of developing your photographic eye.

If you can do this with a friend, then it will be interesting to compare the results. I have done this with my son, and when I looked at his photos, I'm scratching my head "where did you see that"? He saw things I missed, and vice-versa.

At least with the digital format, you can erase any photos you dislike.
