Re: Is photography your main hobby or interest?

I have three serious hobbies, Photography, Mortorcycle Touring & computers. They all interact as the photos are processed on the computer and directions to new locations are planned with the internet and multiple pieces of mapping software. The motorcyle is a cheap, fun form of transportation. If I didn't have one I'd go on about 10% of the drives/rides I do now.

Alan.
PS3 mostly - had a 360, it died so got a refund, and never really used my pc for gaming as I like that separation from work/leisure.

I don't have much free time at the moment, but do love Soul Calibur 4 - have you got that? Up for a game on that if you like! Are you a big gamer then? Might know a good forum you might want to join

PS3 for me too, love it, when I can get on the thing that is, had an X Box and a Wii before we moved, but definitely prefer the PS3.

Tend to play Lukes games but I am the Guitar Hero Legend, well a legend in my own living room and because I love movies .Blu Ray is awesome

Re: Is photography your main hobby or interest?

Yes, I think it is, I love itand a year ago I was so normal, and didn't know my shutter from my memory card I do ride, hike,bike, canoe and do dog stuff too, but photography has become my thing

Not sure where I want to go with it in the future, thinking about that a lot at the moment, so will just carry on building up my portfolio, and see what happens.

Re: Is photography your main hobby or interest?

Photography is my main passion, and I'm currently striving to attain a professional level in it. There is a lot of arguments about degrees in photography, which often sparks debate as to whether its needed or not.

My simple answer is, the course I'm entered into works in a way as to not niche yourself into a corner but consider creativity on a wider scale. anyway I'm going off on a tangent here.

The fact of the matter is, I want to invest my time now so I can spend my time in later life doing photography to earn a living.

I used to play games a lot, I dare say too much. But after having an epiphany I realised I needed to make some changes to the online gaming addiction had to stop.

Re: Is photography your main hobby or interest?

I enjoy some games - mostly PC and Wii though My brother has a PS3 - and I daresay I could get into that - but I know how I am, I'd buy one, use it for a few weeks and then sort of forget about it so I'm better off using the money towards camera stuff. I do still enjoy playing my Snes, Mega Drive and Master System though!

Re: Is photography your main hobby or interest?

Not really as I have a number of interests that are important to me mainly my dogs and dogs in general but as I am less able to deal with dogs I have found more and more of my time taken up with photography and I love the editing side of it, perhaps more than the camera work.

Re: Is photography your main hobby or interest?

Photography is a hobby for me, I wish I could make a living out of it!! I love taking pictures of anything and everything! I have done a few weddings and portraits, but only for family and friends so far! Had a lot of interest in the book I had done for Grahams Daughters wedding recently, so we will see where that leads!
PS3 for me too!
