What would you say, is your most-often photographed subject matter?

I have no one subject I like to photograph; depends upon my mood and the weather and where I am at. Out in AZ and OR and WA states, most likely landscapes and seascapes and the Cascades Range, or Sedona and Flagstaff and the national parks there. Back home could be out cruising local roads looking for old barns or raptors; could be walking around several places shooting flowers; could be in a monochrome mood. Could be my granddaughter kicking some butt...she is in middle school and is a 2nd Degree Black Belt in TaeKwonDo....grandpa's muscle when we are out together! 'Yotes are a Catch 22 for me; the ones around here are well fed with several being "alpha dogs", about the size of a German shepherd so I keep my distance.

Anything in nature, not much a people. Flowers, birds, animals, insects, etc. I look at portraits as work, I feel uncomfortable photographing people in public, feel I'm invading their space. That is why you won't find people in many of my photos. Most of my favorite shots are very planned, the site, the season, the time of day. I'm always paying attention to weather and astronomy events like full moons and thinking of a subject like fall trees and a lake or a building and working it into the astronomy event, or things like the peak of fall color, or the red buds blooming in spring. Those shots give me the most pleasure, when I can pull off my vision, and even the ones that I don't pull off my vision, I learn from and wait for my next chance to capture my vision.

I understand that. My eldest says if I have a photo with people in it, it was obviously a mistake!

I shoot some from time to time if I travel and see it but there just isn't any where I live. Live in a farm community in the boonies. Does it ever get depressing? It would get depressing to me if I saw it everyday.

Usually sunsets / sunrises, although I'd like to say swimsuit models.

My most often shot theme is People and events. Local and national.

That's not so bad a condition to have to put up with.
Farm Country and peaceful tranquil environment and No real Homeless situations. maybe we can all pray and hope for that also.
happy Holidays

Wow that's enough to say grace over for a long while. I agree, I always have my cameras and they don't have a lens cap on but are ready to shoot whatever enters the viewfinder.
Grandchildren, cars and scenes as well as my most often fottoged people and events. My answer was probably the answer to "What do you most often wind up having to shoot"

The key point being, the shot that gives me the most pleasure!. That pretty much some up all these answers. The most pleasure of capturing that moment in time that will probably never be there again in the exact same sequence. Great answer.
