I am suffering from a BLOCK !

I'll jump of a bridge before i shoot landscape or abstract and still life, so help me with your thoughts.

If you'll take a shot in that moment, it may happen to become famous picture!
Unfortunately, style of genre suggests author isn't available to be questioned anymore (which would raise value of that shot) - so I really hope you will get over this block and get back to normal route.

My guess is that new unfamiliar gear takes too much of your attention so just let pass some time and it will go right.
 
I'm by no means an expert but a couple of quick suggestions - spend a while learning the new camera & lens at home, or somewhere with less people (park/graveyard) - somewhere you can experiment and not worry about making mistakes/leaving the lens cap on etc. Personally I find that I fear looking like a fumbling idiot almost as much as taking the actual pictures! 😱
Another thought, go away to a different city where you can be certain that noone knows you and may not ever see you again. I found that telling myself that noone there will ever remember me or see me again after that moment helps.
