What are your hobbies, past and present? How often do you get to engage? How easyb it was to pick up? Is money a barrier to entry? Are there any hobbies you are interested in? Willing to chat with other bros from this community that have the same or are interested in same hobbies?

Me. I used to do a lot of photography. Stopped when the worldwide pandemic began. Slowly starting to pick up again.

I would find something to shoot every day, almost. Even if it was flowers, or tree leaves, or grass. Those can come out extremely eye pleasing with micro lenses. Also, miniature effect without any filters. In fact, I never use any filters on my photos.

Starting was easy. So many tutorials online. Can photograph anything. It is crazy how much an angle, lense, and light can impact a photo.

Only problem is that a good camera and a variety of lenses can cost a lot. Obviously, no need to get every lense possible at the beginning. Usually, it racks up over the years. My camera is about 10 years old and still works great. There are of course phone cameras. I can never take a good photo with my phone. It’s as if the ugly filter enables by itself as soon as I start shooting with my phone.

At the end of the day I would say it’s an accessible hobby if starting with the very basics. Camera lenses can always be put on your gift list. There are some decent priced lenses.

Interested in leathercraft. Making rings for fingers and not, and other metal toys for men. Need a lathe which can be expensive even if buying used. Creating my own music. Electronic and the like, no singing, at least by me.

I would love to chat about anything photography with other bros from this community.

Looking forward to read about your current, past, and future hobbies.
