@Ruenella_ Exactly! lol I typed out an entire post/opinion about how I like photography, the things I like to take pictures of, gear, etc., and it was 100% posted, but when I came back here to read new posts to your question, mine was gone! lol
@Ruenella_ I have no idea why they would. There was nothing in there that would have caused them to delete it. 🤷🏼♂️ I guess it's gone to the ether forever. lol
With that said, I'll sum up my original post...
Although I am only an amateur/intermediate photographer, I do enjoy photography. Most of the things I take pics of are landscape and nature photography, abstract and some urban settings as well. I currently own a Nikon D3400 for better quality pics, as well as a Canon G16 compact that I enjoy too.
I'd also love to get back into film photography as well. I miss the look and the interactive tactility of it: loading the film, manually switching different settings (especially in the case of older film cameras), advancing each frame after each pic, rewinding the roll after it's done, etc. Also, what I really like about film is it really forces you to think about the composition of your next shot. Whereas with digital you can just take a million shots and erase whatever pics you don't like, with film you have to be more critical about every aspect of each shot because you only have 24-36 shots per roll (in the case of 35mm film), and you can't just take pictures willy-nilly or else you'll just waste film. There is something to be said about the common saying that "film forces you to be a better photographer". That, and I just love the look, feel and sturdiness of old film cameras...
... But part of what I like about photography (especially nature and landscape) is that it takes you to different, and sometimes even beautiful places that you may not always explore to, just so you can take pics. It also causes you to look at the world around you in a different and even more appreciable way, because it causes you to look everything in a very artistic way. And in the case of nature and landscape photography, things like getting out during sunrise and sunset times to take advantage of that kind of sky, as well as the light it casts on everything else, you also see things you may never see if you're at home just watching TV, or what have you. Photography gets you out to explore and look at everything around you in a very different way, as if it's an opportunity to capture it as something to admire. 🙂
Anyway, that was a little longer of a sum-up than I thought I was going to add, but there y'go. lol

Developing your own pictures can be a pain, particularly transfering the roll into the coil in absolute darkness... Exposing the actual sensitive paper and putting the pictures through the chemicals is a lot more interesting and rewarding.

Imagine the self-centeredness required to make a portfolio of pictures of yourself.
I've told girls I was so they would let me take naked pics of them haha
Yeah I did a couple of day courses a few years back and found them quite beneficial
I especially like bokeh, and for some times I take photos.
I do landscape photography it's fun going different places.
What the heck happened to my post here? 😳
What post

I don't remember seeing yours. Maybe a mod deleted it.

Product photography (B2B).
I’ve been on the side of a camera…
As long as it responds in Time, no interest in the mechanics…
I did. I even developed my own pictures.
