What other hobbies keep you busy besides photography?

7 years 10 months ago #486085 by Alex
More of a casual question, to get to know you more  :)  ... what keeps you busy when you don't have a camera in your hand? 

These days for me, what spare time I have is soaked up spending time with my 13 month old son.  However my wife and I do enjoy mountain biking and hikes.  I also do read a bit and when I REALLY have some spare time, get out and tool around with drones or golf.

How about you? 

Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.

Besides landscape photography, I do stock market trading, play golf and learn Japanese language.

I have a massive vintage video game collection that is actually almost double what I have into my photo stuff.  Drone is fun as well.  Hockey when I have time.

I have 3 gardens that take a good portion of my time.  I enjoy home design and my cats.

The great game of Cricket during the summer months, altho I am due to retire from that after 1 more season,
Bushwalking at any time I can,
Reading, westerns and crime suspense mostly
Gardening and or sleeping depending on how I feel ;)

But I guess the first two I generally have the camera along.....just in case

I have hunted and fished for years. Been out of it awhile but getting back in. Love reloading ammo and casting handgun bullet's. Moved to rifle bullet's recently and enjoy them. I have dogs, pointing dogs. I can't remember the time I didn't have dogs. I used to train outside dog and field trial a bit. I've judged NSTRA trials, AKC trials and few years ago was asked to do a couple american Field trials. Liked judging more than running dog's, got to see all the dog's that way. I was also in the first class for AKC pointing dog test's in the NW, judged a fair number of them also. Going along with my dog's is pigeons I've used to train the dog's for over 30 yrs. Other thsn a couple volunteer's in my homer loft, every bird here was hatched right here; have over 80 of them again. I make my own picture frames from scratch using recycled wood. Been close to 30yrs since I've bought a frame. I go through handcraft shops looking at frame's and found one recently I really like! Most are frames I designed myself though.

Retired 10 yrs ago!

You people have too much time on your hands if you have more than one hobby. I barely have time to get out and shoot anything. Vacations and trips make up the majority of shooting time along with a few minutes grabbed in the yard for macro.
