What type of photography do you like to shoot most and why?

cgipson1: it is funny that you mention the girlfriend part. I have NEVER had one. I get tons of friends and even some relatives telling me I should get one. One of the problems with this like anything else, it takes money which I don't have much of right now. It is one of my goals down the road but I don't see it happening this year.

Animal portraits/wildlife. I recently sold all my lenses except for my 70-200mm F4L since it's pretty much the only one I use for my favorite kind of photography. Gonna buy a 30mm to use for indoor/family gathering purposes and that's about it. I would love a longer lens for tighter animal portraits from far away but the 70-200 F4L is the longest I could get with my budget. Guess i'm sticking to just that lens until I graduate from vet school.

Also, I like the random macro shot here and there, for which I use a cheap set of extension tubes.

I will think about going as I have seen a bunch of photos in the local paper and talked to some local folks about it and they say it is neat.

WOW You wouldn't catch me doing that kind of thing there that's for sure. If I were him, I would do it low key at a regular park or something.

That's funny. She looks quite embarrassed. Hope you have good reflexes to move fast.

You ought to go.. you might even find a girlfriend!!

Oh! Macro... Landscapes and Wildlife, Pets, and getting more and more into portraiture!

This completely mirrors my favorites. Although I am no where close to true "macro" and my biggest triumph as a wildlife photographer is a squirrel LOL! But I guess we do have to start somewhere!

I like different "scapes", whether it's clouds, sea, mountains and everything that can be "scaped"

I try to have as few people in my shots as possible

I like shooting buildings as well, if I see a nice one.

On most of these, you'll find I'm doing HDR.

Ohh, and nightscapes of stars and stuff. It's amazing how much light can reach the sensor, and you get soo much in the frame at 12mm!

Personally I love photojournalism. Social realities, cultures, cities, things are happening... Also I love portrait, specially faces. I love to play with the lights, how it falls the shadow between the eyes and the nose, the hair... I love expresions... the way to look...

Sports is the one I find easiest to shoot.

I'd have to say journalism in general, although I really like senior portraiture a lot too. I shoot a LOT of sports and I really love it. I thrive under the pressure of weddings. Too bad my body doesn't! It'd pretty brutal on your feet, legs, hips, arms, shoulders... everything! Might help if I lost 30 lbs.
