Real hobbies

[Ursus]

I wanted to start a thread about real hobbies. Others should also post about their hobbies, give us some detail and insight and then we can expand all of our hobby opportunities.

My new hobby is photography. I bought another camera today - Panasonic LUMIX DMC - FZ300.

I was getting my passport photo printed and I was looking at the cameras the photo shop has for sale. I always like asking small shop owners questions because they really know alot that the chain store sales people don't know, and this guy who owned the shop didn't disappoint. This is his livelihood and he really knows alot.

He spent about 40 minutes with me, showing me all the cameras, all the features, explaining each camera, taking test shots for me, uploading them to the computer for me to see how they differ in characteristics per camera etc. I was so impressed with this guy, I ended up buying the Lumix camera. It has a great lense. It is able to shoot at a constant aperature of 2.8 throughout the different zooms and the brightness and clarity is awesome. The test shots he took for me were in auto mode and the camera results were so good, it looked EXACTLY like the item he was shooting looks in real life. Absolutely no difference between what the photo produced and what my eyes saw on the counter. It can also shoot macro at a distance of only 1 cm away, which is what interests me the most. I am focused on macro shots.

For anyone who is interested in cameras, you might want to look this camera up. As I said, the lense is great, it has raw shooting capabilities, 4K video, 24x optical zoom but can still shoot at 1 cm macro distance from your subject, it has a flash dock so you can add an external flash, 12 MP censor, and a shutter speed max of 1/16,000. I did want a slightly higher MP capability because it is a new camera, but I do know that 12 MP can produce better than 4k pictures, so really, 12 MP is more than enough.

With 4K video, you can take amazing live video of what you want to shoot and then you can freeze the shot and extract a photo from it too. So, you could always find the best point to freeze and produce amazing still photos from the video. Alot of cameras either are good at pics or video, but it is unusual to find one with an amazing lens and 4K video for such a cheap price.

And it was a good price, all things considered, for $699 plus tax. I know I could have gotten it $50 cheaper at Best Buy, but I was so impressed with the guy's knowledge and service attention that I wanted to buy it from him anyways. If I stick the smaller guy and get the service from him but buy elsewhere to save $50, I will drive him out of business. Then his expertise goes out the window and I lose in the end, with other future cameras I may buy from less knowledgeable sales people. What I am saying is that consumers should reward the smaller shops when they give beter service, which results in a better buy and a better product experience. If we don't, the service will disappear and every store will resemble Home Depot, where no one is in sight when you have a question.

Troll,

Those are things you have to do, not things that you choose to do amongst the myriad of hobbies you could select from.

For example, Magic Johnson couldn't come into this thread and proclaim his fondness for taking his HIV medication. That would not be considered a legitimate hobby, it is a necessity for him.

Sports betting.

Hey @Ursus - I have a camera I bought brand new a few years ago with the intention of getting into photography. Lol! How embarrassing! I'll have to get it and charge it up. If I recall, it's a Nikon D 5200 - SLR? Standard lens. 24 MP? I'll have to find it!

Let's start taking pics soon and posting them. Maybe have weekly assignments? Share and compare?

I'll go find it tonight and charge the batteries.

Ok.

If Angela lets me take a picture of her kitty, I will use my camera and post it here. She has an amazing kitty. So perfect.

You need a telephoto lense so you could take pics of all the kids at the school yard during recess.

That could be challenging. Things to consider - lighting - undies - framing - just the clit? - location (outdoors?) (bedroom?) (kitchen?)

What's your motivation? Feminine? Sexy? Clinical? Porno?

 

[imthedude]

Pretty obvious that all he wants is another way to get with a woman who got tired of him.

My motivation?

To capture a picture of the most beautiful kitty known to mankind.

Angela's body is amazing. Every time I see her, I never get accustom to how perfect it is.

 

[Jethro Tull]

Where does one find this Asian Angela? I'm curious about this woman. Does she have an ad? Work at a spa?

 

[good to go]

My hobby pays well. It gives me about $800 extra cash in a week for fun and investment.

 

[Ursus]

Jethro,

She is the sexiest asian girl in all of GTA. Her ad is not up on BP right now, but she still might be working. Idk. She wouldn't see me yesterday, but that doesn't mean she won't see others. Give her a call if you are interested. I have no idea what her schedule is.

Most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Her eyes are spectucular. Her kitty is perfect. Her body is so smooth, like butter. And she is the friendliest sex worker you will meet.

I pay her $120, but I dont know what her going rate is at the moment. Just ask her.

What hobby is that?

 

[good to go]

Sports betting.

Playing Chiefs game second half total over 20.5 pts total.

Already
Knicks +5
Philadelphia +7
Boston -3.5
Chiefs -7
Tampa Bay over 6 goals
Leafs over 1.5 goals 1st period
Leafs over 6 goals total

 

[Ursus]

Oh, yeah. You mentioned that.

Do you ever double your last bet?

1st bet - $2
2nd bet - $2
3rd bet - $4
4th bet - $8
5th bet - $16
6th bet - $32

If you receive better than 2.00 odds payout, you cover your losses up until your winning ticket.

I found betting on ProLine too difficult. I could choose 2 teams correctly, but 3 teams was too hard. Lost too many times. Sports gambling is not an easy thing to do. If you can achieve success at it, my hat goes off to you.

There are some people that fly for a hobby. I'm sure it's fun, but very expensive to obtain a pilots license and then renting planes by the hour.
Try bowling. Not very expensive, but you can enjoy hours of fun.
