I voted Seascapes, but as I very rarely get to the beach, I tend to concentrate on Landscapes, but the poll did ask "What do you PREFER to shoot.

[Ms Monny]

Well, were I live dictates on what I do....I shoot mainly landscapes. I absolutely looove Street and if I lived in a city, than that is probably what I would focus on (as well as Architecture). So, landscapes it is. Would love to portraits down the track but I would like to get some lighting happening before that (a speedlite would be lovely right now!).

Oh, and the odd car shots too. We do go to a few car shows with our Golden Oldies!!

[Steve Axford]

So, what's your theory???
I shoot mainly wildlife at present, but that can easily change depending on the opportunities.

[geedee]

People but will give the guns miss

[Speedway]

No sports or transport and as motorsport is my main thing followed by birds and wildlife I haven't voted. I also shoot rabbits.
Cheers

........, if I could shoot people all day, every day, I'd be one happy camper.

Yeah, I can relate to that. And when I'm finished doing that, I'd pick up the camera and take some photos of wildlife. mmmm, they all ran away, some landscapes will do then! Social documentary?

[Ray Heath]

well if it has to be one, inanimtate objects mostly, but a little of everything else at times

[PeterP]

Curious as to the reasoning behind this thread now?

Hmm ........ burning steel wool,

I clicked wildlife..... but maybe burning steel wool could become a new interest!

+1 for the rabbit and another for the feral pigs!

Mainly landscape work, though like most I tend to dabble in most things .

[Lance B]

I would have liked multiple choice, as I like wildlife, landscapes, seascapes and inanimate objects as well.

[sunny6teen]

all of the above but landscapes are the most convenient to organise...not once has Mother Nature required a model release (I'm robbing her blind)

[Mark L]

So do we conform to your theory Steve?

[mechawombat]

I prefer to shoot wildlife. Why because I can sit for hours watching things go about their lives. Takes me away from the hustle and bustle of Modern life

I seem to feel like I suck at anything else ATM

[Stoodoo]

Gday everyone. I picked landscape photography, however I do enjoy a bit of everything. Preferences from "highest" to "lowest" are: Landscape/seascape, Macro, Nature, Night/sky. It's all great fun.

Cheers

I hate what most people love (landscapes, flowers and birds) although the occasional one of those is fine.
I prefer an image that says something to me, that makes a statement or captures something other than the same old, same old.
That said, we should all be able to photograph almost anything because that's what we're here for! As an example, I just won a competition with a sports image, and until recently I had never shot (or even watched) sports. Forcing myself to learn how paid off.

So do we conform to your theory Steve?

Looking at the way this poll is shaping up, Id have to say yes Mark….my theory is proven.

The theory was that the amount of CC and thread replies posters get at AP for their posted Images will have a direct reflection depending on the subject matter and subsequent forum that the shots are posted in .
Basically if your posting landscape or wildlife images your get a higher percentage of replies than if your posting in a “people” forum based on the members preferences at AP.

Ive seen many many bird images get 12 plus replies and the same for a waterfall or meandering river/lake..where as a excellent image of a person may only attract 2 o3 responses…not saying for a second that the birds and waterfalls shouldn’t attract those replies either..just saying other genres don’t fare as well

But yes the poll echoes my observations ..and not being self serving either ..but just seeing why certain forums dont get as much traffic...perhaps we all need to push our comfort zones a bit
