Do you shoot just for the sake of it?

[mohgui]

i shoot because:

1. it's fun
2. improve skills
3. searching for theme that i'm strong at
4. don't want to keep white elephant
5. can meet up with people (during outings)

I shoot whatever i want, whatever i like and whenever i want.

Not always necessarily the subject matter, but whether or not it catches my eye. Depends on my mood, where I decide to go, I guess it really is subjective for myself -- people over wildlife in general though, laugh.

I shoot to eat, pay bills and live.

When I have time I shoot for fun.

that's the diff between a pro and hobbyist. I shoot what I like and I'm stress free because I have no one to answer to except myself.

Not for fame or fortune,
then for f@#$? :bsmilie:
reminds me of the army ad my friend wrote.

 

[ParkertR]

i shoot what i shoot cuz of interest in the subject

 

[Deadpoet]

I chose "Tend to shoot because of interest in subject." because I cannot find the exact description of what I actually like. I also like to shoot for the sake of shooting. I don't need a story or any meaning of what I am capturing, as long as I am interested in the subject matter, I shoot, shoot and shoot some more.

The act of shooting, capturing a fleeting moment, is what I like. But, I am also bery picky of what I shoot. Hmm ....

 

[simon80]

i don shoot first del later
for the interest in the subject ..

 

[FiveIronFrenzy]

Do you ask for the sake of it? :think:

 

[yanyewkay]

my interest is currently star trails and butterflies.. one need to stay up late at night.. the other need to wake up early in the morning.. :dunno: no need to sleep liao

Ask yourself which girl in her right mind would pose in front of you in her bikini if you don't hold a camera.

This is the only reason to shoot.

 

[tsjcsl]

I shoot because I am excited to see the results. It helps that I love the sound of the shutter.

But then I find that I do focus on a street/landscapes and some PJ. Maybe I should try shooting girls in bikinis

 

[LazerLordz]

i shoot because its my life.

i shoot in black and white because i cannot feel the vibrance of colours in my life.

i shoot in colour because i want to cheat myself. to believe that i lived for a reason. and the reason is her.

but i still came back. i shoot in bnw is because its where i find solitude.

not for the sake of money.

not for the sake of anything

for the Passion of photography
for the Passion of nature and life.

i lived in a world of black and white..

Hmm..almost the same reason why I started roaming the streets on weekday nights..

Therapy and a sense of purpose after losing her..

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;p

but even wif me holding a cam...they also dun pose leh :cry:

 

[Ah Pao]

Shoot for posterity's sake. I mostly shoot events (and therefore people), and I like looking back at photographs that are 1-2 years old or older.

"Hey, I remember him!", or "wah she looked so 'dut' then!"...

I shoot in a vain attempt to record my memories.

So, you can say I shoot because I am interested in my subjects: people and relationships.

 

[Ah Pao]

Anyway, I didn't vote because I don't understand the difference between "mostly shoot" and "tend to shoot".

 

[Pablo]

I shoot, therefore I cam.


Hey .........

Did you see that ?
