Darned fine idea! At almost 70 years of age, my memory isn't what it used to be. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 27, 2017 Share #23 Posted January 27, 2017 If you have a favourite type of imagery...what's your favourite? Street? Nature? Landscape? Macro? Flowers? Animals? Moody? B&W? Safari? Home? Children? Mundane? Glamour? Other? And why do you like to do so?? (perhaps you'd like to note your camera and lens too... ) all best.. Landscape/wildlife(safari)/travel/family, with the occasional excursion into other genres. As much as I can with the M240/MM1/M6 and the lenses as appropriate. However, for safari I am phasing out the 105-280 / 1.4x APOextender, as it is becoming too cumbersome. I will use the 80-200 ( with 2x APOextender on occasion) and the Panasonic GX8 with DG Vario-Elmar 100-400 (effective 200-800) for reach. The X2 will be in my pocket when I just grab a camera.

keithlaban.co.uk Posted January 28, 2017 Share #30 Posted January 28, 2017 .....so in terms of photography. What are you passionate about? I'm passionate about travel and photography. I often wonder which is more important to me but can only conclude either would be the poorer without the other. Out of this come the series: I never make individual images - travel or otherwise - paintings or photographs. An idea becomes an obsession, a passion which consumes until the next. I can spend years following a single idea and then inevitably I need to move on. I've followed this path for decades, my work is my passion and my passion is my work. All work and no play...

Safari? Home? Children? Mundane? Glamour? Other? And why do you like to do so?? (perhaps you'd like to note your camera and lens too... ) all best.. Photography has been a passion since my days at Art College in the early 70's. It's also a way of life as well as being my livelihood. I owe a great deal to photography, I've travelled with and because of photography and I've encountered amazing people along the way. Landscape and travel photography are the roots, everything else I create and do are the branches, the buds and the leaves. It's a never-ending cycle whilst I breathe. The cameras and lenses aren't really that relevant. What is inside is key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonPB Posted January 29, 2017 Share #33 Posted January 29, 2017 I'd like to thank David for posing the question and everyone else for answering it. My favorite type of imagery is actually oil painting -- Cezanne, Monet, and Vermeer come to mind first, but I admire many, many others. My single favorite image is Van Gogh's Ox Cart, which, like all fine art, needs to be seen in person to be appreciated, and even still won't appeal to most. Still: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cart_with_Black_Ox#/media/File%3AVincent_van_Gogh_-_Charrette_de_boeuf.jpg For my own work, I hardly have the patience to paint, not to mention skill, but I do adore beautiful sights and carrying a camera on my hip is a constant reminder to look for them. That is why I shoot: to keep me attentive to, and appreciative of, the world around me. Friedlander is my photographic hero; his range of curious urban scenes, fractal wilderness, and juxtapositions of the two are a frequent inspiration, and I'd say our genres are the same, though I do not consciously try to mimic his style. I need to find a physical exhibition of his work some day. (If anyone knows of one, whether permanent collection, gallery, or exhibit, please send me a note.) I've seen a few, from time to time, but not more than one or two at the same time. I use the best-suited rangefinder cameras that I can afford, typically with wide lenses to create immersive images and to capture the variety of shading from point light sources that they reveal. Optical finders allow me to connect with the subject; rangefinders allow me to quickly and confidently focus wide lenses; and mechanical devices that feel nice in my hands allow me to minimize the disruption between seeing and snapping. Currently, that means a Monochrom (M9-based). As for lenses, I have too many, but I love them all and would happily adopt more. Cheers, Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmen Posted January 29, 2017 Share #34 Posted January 29, 2017 Above all, my favourites are under the surface of the water and sometimes land (underwater caves). When not submerged it's not well defined. A camera invites me to look twice and see what there is to see. With the inspiration of what's written above and shown elsewhere on the forum, I'm starting to look for light more than just what's in the scene. Thanks everyone!

jmahto Posted January 31, 2017 Share #39 Posted January 31, 2017 For me I didn't chose any genre. Just the act of photography interested me when I started (early 90s). In the beginning I shot anything I could shoot. Family, friends, bit of landscape, flowers.... This continued when I moved to digital from film. Then I got my first RF, M9. Since then landscape dominated in my photography. Mainly because the camera started going with me to my hikes. Now it is mostly landscape. Very little family (my lovely wife has no patience for RF focusing delay) and friends. But then it may change.... since I am still the same old guys when I started.... I just love the act of taking pictures. Therefore I will shoot whatever and whenever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
