You have to move away from just photographing everything as it is normally seen, because it will get boring once the novelty of having a nice camera wears off. People (including yourself) will be more interested in your pictures if you can present things in a way they're not normally seen. For example, your car in your driveway... that's where it always is - and that's accentuated by the backgrounds that include another house/driveway with a few cars. How many times a day do you see that? Probably a hundred.

Hope that helps.
