Looking through the gallery it's clear that macro shots are currently in favour.

Previously we had wild animals, before that birds(Hi Scott!).

It's obvious that different styles need different lenses, I hope you agree with the poll suggestions.

So what do you personally prefer to shoot, for your own pleasure?
Cheers, HG

Birds mostly, then anything that takes my fancy. Oh and the competitions do give me ideas.

Nature mainly, that includes flowers,insects and alike. Loving getting to learn about macro at the minuet, I find it opens up a whole new world in photography (might even get good at it one day!). Would love to do some landscape shots and get into HDR.

OK, so the poll options are a bit hit and miss, I couldn't think what to put so chose a wide subject for each one!

What do you shoot Gartmore?

Mainly cars so I put down "portrait" as that's probably the closest. A bit of everything though - variety is the spice of life and all that...

All sorts of things, so "all of the above", but not necessarily with your lens choice! For example, telephoto lenses are great landscape lenses.
Best regards, John

The lens choice was an after thought John, I use my 18-200 for 'all the above'.

But for preference I'd use a 300mm prime for birds (if I had one) but the Tamy 70-300 will have to do.

The SMC-M/A 50mm tends to get used for portrait, but produces good macro(ish) results!

I'm more interested in what people shoot, that's all.

Just nosey I suppose.

Most things, with the exception of landscapes.

Abstracts, modern architecture, historic architecture, street scenes, steam engines. Above all I shoot instinctively so its whatever grabs me at the decisive moment.
