[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 820498, member: 48483"] There is certainly no problem with continuing what you have done and look for opportunities. You have all the time in the world to find subjects that bring out your best effort. It's not only about what you find interesting. If that were the case, I would be taking a lot of art-nude sets. But I'm far too socially awkward to converse with a model and put her at ease. LOL I can't say I had a particular interest in astronomy subjects other than the moon for a long time. On Youtube I saw what 1 person was doing with a Nikon Coolpix P1000 taking video of Jupiter and Saturn from within an urban area. I just was inspired to put my longest lens on my camera and try. I aimed at Jupiter, then zoomed all the way in with the LiveView. I then saw the 4 Galilean moons on the screen and I instantly wanted to do more and better. A month later I captured the rings around Saturn and was hooked. No telescope, just a 150-600mm zoom lens and tripod. I got back into photography during the mid-2000's due to my activity with geocaching. I started taking photos of my excursions and posting in a blog. Eventually I grew to dislike how geocaching was evolving so it just became a hiking for landscape photos thing. Then later medications ruined my ankles and knees, so the hiking is a thing of the past now. I still like doing landscapes. It tends to be at parks I drive by during my workday. 2022 and 2023 I took a lot of photos of wind turbines and farm-related things. Basically it was stuff I noticed as I drove for work and made a mental note where I could stop when I was by again with a camera. I usually don't search out things, but I keep my head on a swivel looking around me when I drive on country roads. There is even a specific tree I've noticed in an industrial park lot that I kept in mind for nearly 8 years before I returned to the area for a job one morning with freezing fog coating everything with ice.
