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

[Ocho_1]

<---- beauty/ glamour, boudoir, artistic nudes

I'd like to get in to raunchy nudes.........

 

[Redeyejedi]

Macro, Nature/Wild life and Landscape. in that order. Those are the one I enjoy most, for some reason I dont like portraits of people but thats just me.

me too. my issue is that bees, flowers, bears and sunsets do not pay a whole lot! so i have gotten/still getting into....events, portraiture and pet photography. would like to do models as well, but later this year as it warms up outside and less attire becomes all the more prevalent.

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.

I tend toward shooting people, but I do love taken Macro in the spring. I am often second shooter at weddings and occasionally get to be first and I love it. I am starting to get into Sports Photography and Equine, but I still have a LOT to learn about them.
MLeek, I hear ya! My D200 with all the gear is HEAVY! After a full day of getting ready shots, ceremony, formals, rehearsal..I'm ready for bed!

I most liked the artsy kind of stuff:

LightWaves

TheRose

Droid

WhiskeySunset

EastWest

LightWaves is sheets of sketching paper thumb tacked into the wave shapes on a piece of foamboard, back lit by a Nikon SB-600 speedlight.
TheRose and Droid are both incense smoke lit by a Vivitar 285HV and colored using Photoshop.
WhiskySunset was shot looking along part of the brushed aluminum paneled exterior wall of a downtown bank. I made it a color negative and added the lens flare in Photoshop.
EastWest is a B&W conversion of part of the interior of a new library that was built in a nearby town.

Really really loving the whiskey sunset... Nice work and thanks for sharing.

To reply to the thread, I haven't really defined what I like and don't like yet as I'm quite new to this and looking forward to trying new styles. However I do enjoy shooting stuff that's a little more abstract and trying to play around with different objects and being creative. I also like landscapes and architecture. I have minimal gear so I'm limited in that sense, but try to do the best I can with my two kit lenses: T3i, 18-55, 55-250, tripod, wireless remote, click back pack.

I like sports and high speed water droplets.
I like both because of the challenge of getting a really good shot. With sports I use my nikon d90 and a 80-200 2.8. For the water drops I use the d90, 105 2.8 macro, and any available lightsource (don't have a flash yet for bulb in darkroom and set off flash, so I use a high shutter speed and lots of light). Sports is the one that has a real reason but water drops are funner because of the increased challenge.

My favorite is shooting musicians performing at a concert. I love capturing the many expressions on the musicians faces as they are in a zone playing their instruments. Also, getting close-ups of only the musicians hands playing his/her instrument. I primarily use my 24-70mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8 for the concerts. Occasionally, I'll use my 70-300mm f/4.5. I also enjoy shooting landscapes and animals.

Engagement sessions because they pay Haven't really graduated to wedding photography, though I've had offers...still want to do some as a 2nd shooter to get a better feel for it.

I love fashion and model photography but sometimes dealing with models can be such a pain. Flakes galore.

My favorite overall is probably nature/landscapes and wildlife.

I mostly photograph girls I meet. I like having a good time wandering around somewhere, having a conversation and learning things about them because you get a lot of expressions from people when they talk about themselves that you wouldn't if you just had them pose in a chair or something.

The photography that I have always been interested in and still am is Equine photography. Probably because I have such a passion for these amazing animals that I want to help capture their beauty and spirit through my camera. I also dabble a bit in landscape and macro as well.

 

[DiskoJoe]

I like to do street photography and go out and capture reality. I mostly like to take candids of people in public or pictures of strangers I might meet.

 

[bhop]

My photography is kind of all over the place. Mostly what I like is just taking pictures of things that look interesting to me, that I just come across while wandering for hours. I guess the closest description would be street or photojournalism, but not exactly.. dunno. I like shooting interesting cars on the streets, or architecture, patterns, detail, etc... I also like shooting events, mostly automotive. (car shows, racing, the models that are at shows) Prefer the racing action stuff though. seriously.. I need to find a focus..
