The genre you shoot most (in your spare time). I haven't seen this done before so I thought it would be interesting. Personally, it's street photography, although I was quite interested in landscapes a year or two ago. I realise there are too many genres to list here so just choose the one that is closest if you can't find your specific genre here.

Snapshots (whatever I see). If you're familiar with the likes of Ume Kayo etc.
Photo's that contain ironies, humor or just a record of life as it is. So by that it also carries over to Street, photojournalism and such.

Anything goes.
 
I think photojournalism can be put down as street here. (we really need to invent another name for street photography, it just sounds naff)
But we're getting some interesting votes here! To be honest I thought the street photography option would be totally blitzing the other genres. Obviously I'm wrong, but it would be interesting to know how many people actually use RFs for some of this stuff. Anyway keep voting!
101th post do I get a medal?
And another if I shut up? :p
 
Has to be landscapes for me.
Don't really feel comfortable with street and honestly, I am not too excited about it either.
Now my second option would be candid portraits..something I find very hard to do but extremely rewarding when I get a good one.
 
Landscapes and general travel photography. Street does not interest me really, although I've done some bits and bobs.
 
I marked "other" since I tend to be a "thing" shooter. I've been a welder/fabricator/mechanic all my life and as such I have a keen interest in all things mechanical. Looking back through my many photos it appears that boats, cars, trucks, bridges and trains all get my attention but as an avid railfan I probably have more pictures of trains than anything else. Some of these are detail shots while others tend to be landscape-like with a train as the central subject.

I shoot lots of other stuff as well--overall my photography is very eclectic...
 
Documentary and environmental portraiture, with landscape work. Portraiture is proving more compelling each day
 
I love how most RFFers chose "whaterver I see" (which is what I did).
We are pretty much indiscriminate shooters: walk in front of my lens and
its over --> you will be caught on tape. That is what editing is for. Though
I'm terrible at editing.
 
I like what everyone calls 'street' photography but more in the manner of the older 'masters' rather than the modern take on it i.e. fountains composed to look like they're coming out of a drinks can or waiting for someone to walk past a billboard with a lightbulb on to make the 'idea shot.'

Basically, I like pictures of people living their lives.
