Do you do photography as a hobby or business?

I do it as a hobby but am working on doing portraits as a business. I am gathering my equipment now.

I enjoy doing landscapes,macro and anything that stands still long enough..lol

It's a hobby for me. I take pictures of all kinds of things. Not into doing portraits, though.

I love photography!!! I often bring my camera when I go out......because I see alot of beauty in the natural surroundings, so much so that I often stop my car on the side of the road to take a picture of a random tree or anything that strikes me!bigsmile

I love photography! I'm doing it just as a hobby for now but I'm hoping to eventually start a business. I'll take pictures of anything really, I've mostly been doing animals though lately. I'm working on getting more equipment for it all too

A book of pictures, the faces and people of the poconos. Been working on it for 5 years so far.

I love it. My camera stays in my purse. I am actually thinking about going to school for it in September. Can't wait!

photography is a passion of mine as well as writing.
incorporating the 2 together successfully really fuels me.
my favorite kind to capture is a bit harder to do anything with. candids of people. i love capturing the unknown...it's almost like a non sexual voyeurism

I have 4 lenses so far. I use my 300mm lens the most as an all around lens. Lenses can be quite expensive. My camera came with a kit lens and I bought my 1st 300mm lens that was a cheaper lens but not a bad lens. Its a sigma 70-300 APO macro lens. There are several sigma 300mm lenses but the APO one is suposed to be the better of them. Its a $200.00 lens. I finally bought a nikon 70-300mm lens with image stabilation. I love the lens.
