What hobby do you pair with photography?

[FrankS]

Motorcycling, photography and whisky - am I missing something?

Women ?

Do women count as a hobby? Ah well, that definitely can be combined with photography 😀

Getting back into painting.

I also design and build audio equipment. Mostly full range acoustic horn speakers, tube amplifiers, and headphone amplifiers.

Linguistics (currently learning Romani)

Philanthropy (volunteer with the United Way)

Gardening

I also read quite a lot.

Playing my fiddle (folk music) and violin (mainly baroque music)

Nice! I haven't touched my fiddle in at least a year - I need to crack open the case again and get sawing.

Any particular type of folk music? American? Norwegian? Irish? Gypsy?

It's yachting for me - cruising and racing sailing boats is actually ahead of photgraphy 😱

Sometimes the two can be combined though and this is one sport where a Holga comes into its own: it doesn't matter if it gets wet and salty 🙂


2007 Round The Island Race: approaching St Cat's by Vidwatts, on Flickr

But this is my pride and joy - a modest little boat but fine for me (about the same cost as an M9 - I bought this instead)

None. Photog IS my hobby..maybe even an avocation...

Mainly Norwegian and Irish. But I've got a nice American reel too 🙂

Music (Trumpet):

Great. I played trumpet for about six years till the end of high school. I just wasn't that good at it, but I still love music with a big brass sound.

[ssmc]

Great stuff!

Wher to get started with this? Any links?

Thanks
Nik

Hi Nik,

The best two places to get started are the NAR (not the NRA!)

http://www.nar.org/

and TRA

http://www.tripoli.org/

In "high power" rocketry they have a saying when you certify Level 1 - "Welcome to HPR - open your wallet!" but really compared to a lot of stuff like cars and boats it's not that bad (it's not like you're out there every weekend burning huge motors!) And getting decent photos of these things at launch and in flight is certainly a challenge...

Regards,
Scott
