What is your favorite type of Photography?

[DonSchap]

Although some of us may not yet have found it, eventually we all have a knack for a particular kind of photography.

If you have gravitated to a particular kind or have several you specialize with, go ahead check them off from this terse listing. It is all in fun and I really doubt anybody "substantial" is reviewing our answers.

I think my range will narrow as I take more photos, I'm still discovering a lot about what I do.

I picked outdoors/travel. I mostly like to shoot landscapes, but I'll also shoot anything I encounter along the way (flowers, mushrooms, etc.). I also like to shoot the occasional portrait, but that's a distance second.

I shoot everything since I always have my camera with me. Most of my shots are of grandchildren, wildlife, and landscapes.

Well as I didn't see European swimsuit models in exotic tropical locations i went with sports, and outdoor / travel

Like Wengler, I chose the closest thing to landscape photography. I love to travel, and some of my best work has been on long backpacking trips, but I too am more outdoor than travel. A little astrophotography too.. is that aerial?

I did NOT chose people/portrait because I have a hard time articulating the "subject" to what I want them to do. I get a little frustrated when trying to take group shots, generally because not every one is listening to the instructions and it becomes a cluster... I also picked aerial because I have my private pilots license and I LOVE to take pictures from the air!!!

Astrophotography is something most folks do as a side ... not as the primary and sole reason for their camera's existence. I didn't add it because it is a little limiting and not many people actually ever shoot through their telescope, even if they had one.

As I am still learning new things, and still have a long way to go before I can call myself a photographer. I find birds, landscapes & architecture interesting.

I really have not narrowed my selection of Photography styles ... and that kind of goes along with how I have lived my life. Jack of all trades, master of none. I guess I lack focus. I know that APERTURE is worth a thousand bucks, but nailing down just one kind of photography tends to feel so "limiting."

The flip side of that coin is that by not doing so, the costs of doing it "all" are quite a bit higher. You need a MACRO flash, elex flash(es), studio strobe(s), the sun ... and whatever else light source you desire. Then, all the lenses ... and you know how those costs can mount up.

I mean, if all you did was 'portraiture' ... you could have your 85mm and 135mm lenses and just about be done with that. "Macro" ... there are only two or three lenses involved with that, too.

Once you open your photography world up ... you never have enough glass!
