hobbies - photography contest
Goal:
Take a shot which conveys a favourite hobby or interest. It can be anything except your job, photography or team sports. We all have something in our lives that we love to do in our spare time be it knitting, karaoke, whittling, playing cards, painting, writing, crossword puzzles, bird watching, riding motor bikes or cycling, tramping, hiking, clay bird shooting, stamp collecting etc.
The shot may include people or animals or just the hobby itself. No food/cooking shots as we've had plenty of those lately. So unless your hobby involves nudist camps or nude modelling anything goes other than the exclusions already mentioned.

jawshoewhah: Look um, not to be such a douchbag but honestly I think a picture of the result of that hobby is not a hobby. Here's a definition: an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation: Here’s an example: Her hobbies include stamp-collecting and woodcarving. So to beeter meet this, instead of taking a picture of a bunch of stamps or a wood carving, get a picture of a woman or girl (her) collecting stamps or carving something out of wood. Not a finished product, but a product in the works. Can anyone agree with me on this? See where I'm coming from? If I submit a picture of a beer, can I say drinking beer is my hobby? Some may say yes and some may say no but honestly a hobby is an actual act, not a finished product. Now a picture of someone drinking beer I think would better define it.

(111 days ago) kyricom: The contest theme does not preclude Josh's statement. He has a point. It looks as though many of these entries are just shots of random things that we like... "Oh, that's my hobby." (111 days ago) rrhall: Jawsh and kyricom...The contest details clearly state that the shot is meant to convey a favourite hobby...clearly the most obvious way to "convey" a hobbie is through the finished result...it would be really irate for everyone to post pictures of them actually partaking in the hobby, rather than images used to convey the hobby in different ways... (110 days ago) kyricom: I don't really have a problem with the "end result" pictures. I was just saying Josh's point was not invalid. However, I would probably rank a (good) picture higher if it actually showed the person DOING the hobby. (109 days ago) jawshoewhah: Funny, after I made my comment, all of the recent entries have been much more on theme and some of the best I've seen. It's nice to see some people share my opinion or take it with a grain of salt and for that I commend you. (109 days ago) eggplant81: You are right jawshoewah 
but thanks for now clarifying in your comments with "in my opinion" (109 days ago) adeincyprus: don't think your comment really made the difference josh, just coincidence, that's all! (109 days ago) Participants:
