Hey, My husband used to take photos wherever he goes but he takes photos of nature not us 
He is not a photographer anyway but he is in love with the camera. My hobby, I love to play with my dogs all the time and taking care of them. :heart:

Cammalu, unfortunately I am not. My husband wants no part of traveling of any kind so it is going to take me a while to get going. Also I am healing from a torn tendon. When I do set out it will be in my car then hopefully I can save enough to buy a van. Right now I have to live vicariously through everyone on the forums and YouTube.
when I do set out I will be bringing items to sell at flea markets and such along the way.

It is a fun hobby. Always a different way to see things, angles, distance, lighting

I like cityscapes and kids.
That makes me, respectively, a terrorist subject to random violence by idiots and a child molester/general pervert.
I've loved photography for decades, even took university classes in cinematography, but gave up the notion. Middle-aged white guys better do it in the studio. But that's not what I like. Universe? Close down, thanks.

My passions turn into paying work sooner or later. But then when they do turn into work I have a need to do product photography. I would get better at that if I enjoyed it more and of course if I was better at it then I would enjoy it more and maybe do some hobby photos just for fun.
sometimes I get lucky enough that a professional takes shots of my work when it is installed at a clients garden, this one was in a magazine, look at the thumbnail image at the bottom of the post and click to enlarge. She framed the house with a red Japanese maple which was a nice touch. Her composition was also a lot more interesting than product photography tends to be.
I took this one out in the garden, it did not come out too badly, I enjoyed the red flowers as part of the scene, a snap of bright color enhanced the feel. I do enjoy taking photos of gardens and sometimes do that for the pleasure of it. For a decade or so gardening was my mega hobby but I don't want to keep one up now.
This image was shot by a professional photographer, it has also been in magazines and newspapers. Unfortunately the slide scan has the color washed out. I will have to get a new scan done of the slide.
This image is another one I took, setting up the lighting was a struggle as I do not own a good set of lights. It too has been used in a magazine article.
So I really should focus more on getting better at photography although I rarely build these large birdhouses anymore. But I do have one more designed that I have started building and I will get back to work on it after I finish my travel trailer build and get settled into some BLM time next winter with lots of hours to focus on such things.

I used to do aerial photography from my PPC ultralight. Sold a few pics to magazines over the years, but now with drones taking over I just fly for fun. Pics below are Mt Bachelor and Lava Butte near Bend Oregon where I live during the summer.

All beautiful pictures
That PPC looks like a great hobby! I got to go up in a 2 seat ultralight one time, it was a blast. But as we had a Cessna 150 it I just went up on an excursion flight sold by the hour of time. I also got to go up in a powered glider from the same airport in Arlington, WA. Two great flying time memories.hugemoth said:

I'm into sketching and painting, but have thought about getting a DSLR camera. Right now I just have a GoPro for my videos.

Anyone who is interested in Digital Photography, I used to get the free newsletter from this group in the late 90's when they were first getting going. It's quite informative.
