I'm sure everyone has a favorite subject, what do you like to take pictures of?
For me it's lanscapes and animals... hoping to start and take more wildlife pictures in the new year, once I get my hands on a nice long Canon, with some L glass and IS.

Yep, landscapes for me... I'd like to start doing some more cityscapes but they're a bit tougher...

It's amazing what old junk can do.

well, that's not exactly what i meant...
taking pictures of people, whether posed or candid, always turns out to be an ordeal for me. the pictures come out either like snaps or totally crap. i really admire those who take great people pics.
it's one of the areas i've always wanted to get into, but haven't really got the hang of it, yet.

Definitely landscapes, architecture and still life (flowers etc.). Moving things like people... I find challenging

I like urban street photography. I like to grab photos of people and their environments.

I like animals too, that's why I am thinking I need a longer lense.

Either it's a longer lens, or a "see how close you can creep up to the animal without it noticing you".

Well, I don't have a long experience taking pictures but, in spring and summer I just take pictures of flowers. In autumn trees and probably landscapes... Winter don't know... it is too cold...
People... I am sometimes afraid that they get angry if I take a picture of a place with people. I'd like very much to take pictures of kids, but you never know if the parents get angry, and if you start asking permition to take the picture and give explanation the moment for the picture is gone... As for me to take pictures of people is difficult...

You have to find a duck blind--a hideaway you can take pictures from. Busses and car windows work great. You just have to be fast.

Busses will work for me... I'm still a little clumsy with the setting of my camera
