Hey Gang:

I'm just curious about what other photography any does shoot in this forum. Or is everyone diehard wildlife/nature photographers.. I for one enjoy shooting or trying to shoot wildlife as much as I enjoy shooting a football match.

Feedback please.. William

Landscapes, the occasional climbing picture but nothing else really!

Football, rugby,shinty, hurling, karting and a lot of mundane press shots (accident scenes, people, politicians, whatever the editors ask for really)
Wildlife stuff just fills the gaps now.

For me, Natural History is a hobby and shooting everything else is the job (as you'll see from my website).

Believe me... shooting wildlfe is easy compared to shooting people! :biggrin:

Assistant wedding and social/event photography (professionally), Sport, Landscapes and Nature (hobby).

Anything else that gets in the way of my lens will be shot. :biggrin:

I'm with Barrie on the subject of it being easier to shoot wildlife than people. People answer back and complain too much.

Within reason anything that pays!!

That said it's a mixture of press, catalogue, portrait (people and pets) that backs up my nature biased work mix, but I know which I like the best :wink:

Superbikes, which is my first passion, although I'm really getting into avian photography now.. :smile:

Would like a go at glamour, but the mrs wont let me :frown:
Posted by Vincent Jones on March 9, 2007 at 2:53 PM
Nor mine Tony :frown:

I have suggested glamour with feathers :biggrin: The answer is still NO!!!!!!!!! :frown:

My photography is based purely on wild birds, work done at project sites & the birds(feathered type) I work with. Mainly for educational purposes really.

If I did glamour I would probably need a very sturdy tripod & cast iron-fronts :biggrin:

Apart from family pictures, it has been nature-related photography only for me.

However I did get asked to shoot some promo pics for a friends band recently and it was not too bad and did present some different challenges.
