I thought it might be interesting to have a poll of which type of photography most interests you? Let me know if I missed any categories.

I think you should separate portrait/wedding/fashion - vastly different imo

Sorry Sue .. you gotta choose. Let's put it this way - suppose you had to choose only ONE type of photography for the rest of your life .. which would it be?

Travel photography -- depending on where you go, it could be landscape and it could be architecture.... Or it could be portraits!

I think only admins should be able to create polls. And even then, they should do so only after screening the text of the poll through a grammar and spelling checker.

Who wrote this? One candidate contains 2 categories of photography that I love, 1 I loath and another I dislike! How on earth can I vote? :roll:

This is actually quite interesting. When I googled the photography types most sites lumped People/Portraits/Weddngs/Fashion into one broad category - People Photography. It works for me because I like any pictures of people but I can see how this wouldn't fit for other people.

So if YOU were going to create a poll like this what categories would you define?

It's a bit of a broad grouping then, because you could also include street photography, candid shooting, etc. in amongst all of that too. Candid and portrait photography are the antithesis of each other.

None of the above:
Abstract/Experimental/Painting with light

Having done photography for several decades I've done most of the above and it bores me now...that's why I prefer doing something that's different and creative.
