What hobby do you pair with photography?

[ChrisP]

You guys have money for anything outside of Photography? I thought this Forum was about spending every penny on getting a new Leica and than realizing you don't have enough cash left to put film in it...

 

[fixbones]

I have too many hobbies for my own good !!

Cameras

Acoustic guitars .... recently attended a work shop by Stefan Grosman (Great champion of country blues....the guy is a living legend!!!)

Fountain Pens

That should read " don't have enough money for food and rent after buying a Leica and film "

Collecting art (modern and contemporary).

 

[Corto]

I guess I should also add that I do collect Firearms from the Finnish-Russian conflict known as "The Winter War" (Talvisota).

I like to take pictures of the models that I build.

 

[Brad Bireley]

Flyfishing....

 

[Livesteamer]

1/8 scale live steam trains. see www.triadlivesteamers.org and engine #690 is mine. Also collect antique model airplane engines but mostly a stay at home dad, taking care of family and using a IIIc for family photos. Joe

Ancient Coins:

And Hiking:

Both of which go well with photography

The two big ones for me are fencing, which has been a major part of my life for 17 years now, and urban exploration, which pairs itself nicely with photography!

 

[ChrisPlatt]

I enjoy walking, not as exercise, meandering and enjoying wherever I am and seeing the "art" that's all over the place, and maybe get a picture out of it.

This is a reaction to a life of buzzing around like a rabid bee and never slowing down (until now).

SSmc, that is a damn cool hobby!

 

[heartattackandvine]

Aikido, japanese martial art (well, not much recently, due to non-aikido injury).

More recently I took up (recreational) cycling. It matches quite well with photography, the world looks different compared to the usual view from a car.

 

[RFluhver]

Damn! That aikido photo is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

At any rate, mine is watch collecting. Actually, I only just got started, focusing mainly on Seikos, particularly vintage chronographs from the 1970's.

Hiking, I am mainly a landscape photographer... But I do shot a lot of different subjects from street to still life to portrait to family🙂 But the enjoyment of hiking and taking pictures of what I discovered is where it is really at for me.

[Corto]

I envy you Gary, I love to hike but its hard for me these days as my left ankle is pretty much gone.

I still manage to go fishing but not to some of the places I used to get to.

I think the number 1 answer for many in this forum should be "Camera Collecting".

I used to be a crazy Seiko collector, I assume you have a Bullhead and a Helmet (Darth Vader) In your collection, oh and perhaps a more recent Alien 🙂

as for a current hobby I try and play guitar although not so much in the last year since I have gotten into cameras
