Are you into Videography or Photography?

[kenrivers]

Anyone into videography or photography? Hobby or job or both?

 

[basroil]

Count me in for both, mostly hobby now but at one time mostly job.

(currently holding steady at ~300k photos taken, only 90k kept, and ~24 hour of video kept, in 2x3TB mirror + 2TB external)

It's more of a hobby for me though I have been paid for a couple of weddings and funerals. I am helping a middle school I frequently substitute teach at with yearbook photos (fall and spring sports, other events as needed).

Photography is and has been my main hobby for as far back as I was big enough to hold a camera. Now that the current crop of DSLR's also take excellent quality video, I'm starting to dabble in that too.

Photography has been a hobby. Now I do image stitching for people that want a 1 to 1 copy of paintings, etc. Digitizing family paintings is paying the bills for me.

I do both as a hobby, but I wouldn't mind being a part time photographer or videographer to make some $.

For me it is a definitely a hobby. I need to figure out good process and groove when it comes time to compile crop and edit.

The world of art and content creation is more accessible than ever.

I am into Photography. It is my hobby. I brought Canon 70D from my savings. I am not an expert.
I am watching YouTube Videos to learn basic Photography. I got some basic idea about Aperture, ISO, Focal length etc.
My main model is my friend.

I still enjoy it as a hobby. As long as it continues to be a challenge and with something more to learn I will keep at it. Experimentation with the shots to figure out what works and what doesn't is half the fun. Besides that you might stumble upon something you had not thought of before.

I've done a bit of video editing. Recorded my sister's wedding a few yrs ago.

That was with a cam that had firewire. Now I use an HD cam which uses an SD card.

I like photography better for a lot of reasons. When you take a picture there's something that feels more permanent about it than film, like capturing a moment. Video is too fluid. It also uses a lot more computer resources which I don't really care for. I like things simple.

 

[kenrivers]

Simplicity is the reason I have kept my Pentax K1000. Call me old or old fashioned but I still like the look of photos shot on film. Don't get me wrong, I do own a DSLR and use it quite a bit.

Photography (hobby), even extending to running a photography based game on facebook. Coming up on its 5 year anniversary...😉
A lot of close up and macro. Like trying to capture a flys eyeball.

Video...playing with some slow motion.

I love photography. Haven't touched my camera in a few weeks though.

 

[anajames]

Photography, specially connecting with my other hobby collecting die-cast models.

 

[kenrivers]

Combining two hobbies sounds interesting. I had the opportunity to shoot some yearbook photos (sports) for a middle school and I enjoyed the action photography. It's always fun to try and get the expression on the players faces as well as the action.

 

[boomsky]

I choose photography as my hobby. I enjoyed nature and food photography. Actually, I love the arts in general.

 

[kenrivers]

Just wish I had the chance to do more videography stuff. The photography (non-paid) opportunities have picked up though.

i more into photography but when i was a kid i wanted to do this job, but ended being IT 😀

I am into photography as a hobby. I invested in a pretty good camera a while back and took some classes here and there. I usually take my camera with me wherever I go and have just recently got into editing photos too!

 

[kenrivers]

I took a lot of pictures prior to going to high school. I remember how excited I was to have saved enough money for my first camera. I got on my bicycle and rode to K-Mart (not exactly a camera store I know) to get a 110 film camera. If I am not misktaken it was a Kodak and used those square flash cubes. I too thought Iwanted to do it profesissionally. I got every photography magazine I could get my hands on. The passion is back now and I would love the opportunity to do more sports photography.

In my early teens I was an avid hobby photographer. Highly active in the local photo club, took a fair amount of pictures and spent many hours in the dark room.
In my later teens I got in touch (and involved) with a group of friends that did short films as a hobby. Most of our spare time got film-centric: Making film, watching film, showing film.
It was very fun to write scripts, gather and make props and costumes, and then eventually make it into a finished film on a shoestring budget!
When I got to university I stopped making films, but kept taking pictures and also showing (35mm cinematic) film in the student's film club.
My last major photography event was a trip to China in April 2000. Took eleven rolls of film in about as many days and had them all ordered in triple copies plus digital format!
When I became a father almost two years later I had to replace the camera bag with a bag of diapers and other essential baby stuff, and by then digital cameras were becoming main stream.
Now I don't take many pictures, but I do know how to do it when needed, and my daughter has just began with photography as a class in school...

I'm actually looking to into photography for a hobby. I've always had an interest in as well as computer graphic art so it would be nice to create something from scratch that is totally mine.

 

[kenrivers]

It is fun as a hobby and there are so many possibilities for creativity.
