Yes
Let's do positive! (and I reckon half the answers will be the same as that other thread :p)

I'll never get tired of photographing the Greek island of Symi. One of the most beautiful places in the world.
 
I'd always get tired of shooting something over and over again, no matter what it was.
 
Sika deer on the farm, I must have thousands of pics, but always rattle more off when I go.
 
Maybe we could add to this genres or styles that went out of fashion a long time ago and are due for a come back.

I love the Hollywood glamour style portraits from the 1940s and 1950s. Would love to have a go at that.

They're making a comeback and could possibly be the next 'big thing' in portraiture. I've seen more threads in the last year re Fresnel lenses than I had over the previous 10.
Even Beauty dishes were rarely discussed just a few years ago, it was all about softboxes, now we have more people getting into the old fashioned 'glamour' look. From the 80's 'glamour' became something of a dirty word, but its regaining its more traditional meaning.
There's also a shift towards cocktail style wedding and bridesmaid frocks (very 50's), which is great too.
 
HDR colour popped photos of babies at sunset :)
 
I'll never get tired of:

All types of light trails,
Star trails,
Wire wool,
Light Painting of most kinds,
Long Exposures at night
ND110 Photo's

I've always said if I've got a long exposure option, be sure I'll get my tripod out and slip on into bulb :woot:
 
Cats, macro anything, shallow dof anything, patterns, found still life, clouds, trees.
 
Angles, textures, colours, sunrises, sunsets, ETC "whatever catches my eye.."

St Marys island, always find something new to photograph.

Wild birds, a constant challenge.

Positivity, have you had your plus sign today. :) :) :)

OK, OK, Daryl, I can take a hint...

Is this not just the same thread? Because in the other, someone will cry that they like what someone else hates?
 
My kids.

Whether my Facebook friends and others who are subjected to the results feel the same, I'm not sure... ;)
 
I will never get tired of photographing Venice. (t.hough there are some Rome pics in that link ;)) :lol:

It is such a different place to anywhere I've been/seen, and whilst a clichéd subject, there are reasons it has caught people's imaginations for hundreds of years. Around every corner, and along every canal it seems there is a potentially nice image. :) And just to go somewhere were the car isn't constantly droning in the background is very refreshing.

I'm planning another trip (fingers crossed) around Easter, as the way things are going in work, holidays could be off the agenda for many years, and I want to go again. :|
 
I will never get tired of photographing sunsets

I rufuse to believe that hot bloded males became photographers to take photos of trees. flowers and mountains and sunsets.......

It's just not true.

Please please I pray to the Gods there are Stereo typical photographers out there......

Except wedding togs ,we all know they are badly dressed, faff about on the job and have Horse shoe haircuts!
 
I love to photograph my missus in sexy lingerie. Truth.
 
I never get tired photographing people...
 
Crete, my wife (especially in Crete), sunsets (guess where!) and my cat.
 
Big cats:) as well as blurry water :D , tho sometimes sharp water looks better just depends:)

Bloody marvellous! I'm joining the clamour of folk asking for a run down of how you went about getting those. Please!



Sorry, not clear on this; which of you is wearing the linguine? :D

Linguine? That would be an original image!

Hi, Not wanting to hi-jack the thread, but a few details on my astrophotography set up.
I use a Newtonian telescope 10" f6.3 1600mm focal length which is
mounted on a solid equatorial mount; an absolute must when shooting at 1600mm or longer. :cuckoo:

I use dedicated mono astro camera most of the time.
The 1600mm focal length helps to minimise the effects of light pollution gradients across the field.

For the deepsky shots, 4 sets of exposures are taken through red, green and blue filters and
a clear channel too totalling several hours of exposure.
I'd take some thing like 10x10min exposures of each R G B and also 10 x 10mins with no filter.
The individual filtered frames are combined to give a master red,green and blue frame.
Then master RGB frames are combined in to a low res relatively noisy colour image.
This is layered in photoshop with a higher res, lower noise luminance channel for the final colour output image.

For the moon I take a continuous set of single 0.1 sec exposures and pick the sharpest !
Some of the moon shots are with a focal 2x multiplier to get me to 3200mm fl !

I have a an old pc outside next to the scope and drive the lot from inside my house across a network using VNC
so I can be processing the sub frame images taken while the next are being captured and keep warm too :thumbs:.

There's some photos showing my set up here-

Thanks, Dave.

Cheers for that, Dave. Helluva set-up. Do you do this professionally?
