Hobbies anyone??


For myself it's coming down to gaining more experience. In the world of photography I'm a relative newbie. Besides I like challenges in life.
 
I use the Panasonic FZ range of Bridge cameras. The latest model is reputed to be excellent. FZ1000. There are loads of good reviews on the internet.

Well it looks a great camera Bluetit. But as I haven't considered taking photography up as a hobby it is far to expensive for me. I have had a good look around and I have a Fuji Bridge camera in mind but haven't yet taken the plunge.
 
I've not really any hobbies. But I do love to buy and sell vinyl (records) I sell them to people all over the world via the internet and to local Dublin DJs who want them either for there sets (To be played in clubs) or they want them for their own collection.

I have an earlier version, the FZ150. You can get them on Ebay or second hand from a camera shop.
 
I really want to take up photography but just don't have the time. At the moment I have some tarantulas (over 100 at one point) a leopard gecko a crested gecko and couple of whites tree frogs.

Would be fascinating to see photos of your "pets!"

Time to take photos isn't too long. Simple things like a cup of coffee with the steam swirling out are lovely if they are the right cups and lighting. My GP is a fantastic photographer. After seeing them on his computer I said how great they would be on canvas down the corridors.... Now they are!!

You don't have to go far to take a photo of delight!

You could take photos of your pets and freak us all out

Good evening ... not been around for about a month and expected to find a bazillion new posts to trawl through but .... there were thirty odd ... has there been a mass curing while I wasn't looking?
 
Hello @JACKTHELAD I thought I hadn't seen your posts. I used to play the guitar and sing and then spent quite a few years teaching steel band but now my hobby is knitting. I'm currently knitting my second Gansey for my partner.

I bet you get some foot stomping rhythms going with those needles ... knit one pearl one knit one pearl one I got the knit one pearl one blues!!!
 

I suppose you are right. Now which camera to buy hmmm (I know nothing about cameras lol)
 
As a person with arachnophobia, don't even think I would approach armed with a broom.....<shudder>.
 
The other day Opalshards made a beautiful hand made bracelet for me to give to my wife. I can only say that we were over pleased with the result,not to mention the great value.
It is so nice that we in this forum can also get that little extra from friends we never meet.
We have hidden the bracelet away for my wife's Christmas present, ( the problem now is we will have to buy my wife a Ferrari or Mercedes Benz to match this beautiful bracelet )
 


Ah that is so nice of you Izzzi. I knew it was a surprise so I wasn't expecting you to post in the forum. And I didn't want to show it off, in case your wife saw it. Thank you, I could not have had nicer feedback. Hugs June. x
