Starting to shoot again,,,,

I was an active photographer that (for me personally) made the mistake of turning my hobby into a business. I worked all types of work from wedding to legal photography. My, I hate to say most awkward job was shooting a funeral. After ten years I grew weary from the hustle and sold all my gear to focus on my full time career.
Anyways now retired and shooting a dSLR (previous work was all film). I have re- ignited my love of taking pictures. So... being new to digital I am looking for information on making my hobby a fun experience. Again.....

Hey, you've been around the block a few times, and you know the drill......
Find some area that you have not exploited professionally; you did not mention landscapes. This might be something new that you can wrap your head around and kick start your photography.

I think you now know the first step, keep it as a hobby for fun.

I had a similar experience. Flying was fun as a hobby but when I started doing it for a living it became work and not nearly as much fun. Think that happens to a lot of us in similar situations.

I know the grind. Used to shoot weddings for many years. It's like herding cats or pushing string uphill.

Welcome, you can find interesting posts and links here on the Forum.
Hardest thing for me shifting from film to digital was getting comfortable just pressing that shutter release. No more worry about "almost to 24 or almost to 36". I'm finding post processing (with Photoshop) to be as interesting and challenging as taking photos.
