What do you do when you're not taking photographs?

About me, I am on 'semi-Sabbatical' break from fashion business, now doing horse racing project, planning my travel for next year (hopefully) and will have to learn more about photography too :)
 
Retired. Enjoying The Weather Outlook Forum. Night time is for Astronomy. Day time hobbies -- woodcraft , Pyrography. Busy with that for Christmas.. Beading sometimes. Then there is photography. ....Busy time being retired. Got pots for gardening on patio. Along with a couple of bantam chooks....
 
I spend exactly half my life (3 weeks on, 3 weeks off) offshore on an oil platform (I'm the telecoms tech) and the other half with 3 weeks to do as I please.

Sound engineer, but not in the stereotypical music business, I'm in the 24hr radio news business.
Always said at school I wanted to be a sound engineer, so I achieved my goal, just not exactly how I thought. It's interesting stuff and a rare job to find, but it is shift work which plays havoc with home life and sleep.
But I get time to photograph stuff, light trails on a 2am "lunch" break or sunrise on my journey home from a nightshift for example.
Apart from family, photography is the main thing I do with my time, sometimes I get paid for prints or for family photoshoots or the occassional 2nd shooter at a wedding, which I am hoping to do more of when possible.

I might be tempted to go full pro but I need a steady income and I do worry that it could ruin photography as a hobby for me.
 
I'm a manager for a well known discount retailer.. not the most enjoyable and the hours are rubbish but it pays the bills better than the competition would..
 
I studied Mechanical Engineering at Uni, so you can guess what I do...that's right, I'm in Finance! :confused:

Ah well.

Outside of work, 2 young kids and my wife keep me busy, but I also play basketball for a local league team, go to the gym (mainly resistance training), and spend far too much time and money on the cars at home. Two cars at home at the moment, and planning to go halves on a cheapo track car with a friend and start doing more trackdays.

Good idea about track car ;) thinking Clio Cup myself... ;) although RS is a great track weapon! A little heavy and expensive! But perfect!))

Looking forward to Saturday. What camera kit are you bringing with you to ADI?

I'm thinking of focusing on video and leaving stills to someone else....who do I know that's a pro photographer, took great pics at Wings & wheels, and will be coming along? Hmm.....
