Is there any kind of photography that you don't "care for"?

Bird photography. People are always trying to trick you into seeing their photos with titles like, "beautiful chick" posts.

Landscape photography.

Why...because I live in Fort Wayne, IN.

Well, you could always make a collection of the boring 'scape.

I represent that remark...

you shoot cool airplanes, i personally dont see the interest in pictures of passenger aircraft (ie - take off and landing at the local airport).

Flowers are not really anything I find wow but everything else ranging from macro to motorsport.

Animals is a bit touch and go. I love the wildlife stuff that you see in National Geopgrahic. Some of the stuff related to wildlife photography is stunning.

Well, that makes all the difference then!

(Thank You)

FWIW, I'm not a big fan of fence hanging at major airports. One Airbus or Boeing begins to look like every other after a while. I prefer General Aviation and Military stuff...

Night club photography. I don't know why, but I don't really like looking at them. I'm still young (23) and enjoy hitting the clubs once in a while but in terms of pictures they don't do anything for me.

Amen, gone are my days as a regularly hired wedding coverage pro, for exactly those reasons. The thirty-something photographers can do the marathon grunt work! Now I sit as a guest of friends whose kids are getting married, and I provide supplemental shots and let the hired pro work hard. Meanwhile I eat and drink and fit photos in, rather than the other way around!

In the last ten years I have been to only one wedding where I wasn't the paid photographer and that was my own... If I were to be invited to a wedding now, I wouldn't take my camera at all.

I was checking out my local community college photography site to see what kind of projects they do there. For one of the classes they list their semester project as creating a calendar, 13 shots (one for the cover), selecting a particular theme. At the bottom it stated the following:

"NO BEACH, SURFING, HOMELESS PEOPLE, PIER, RAIL ROADS, OLD CARS, DRUGS OR ALCHOHOL THEMES WILL BE APPROVED."

I guess living in a beach city and being a basic photography instructor, you see a lot of this over the years. I can see how someone who looks at the same thing over and over could develop a dislike for it.

They have homeless people in Newport Beach?

I'm also an aviation photographer and I agree. Commercial aircraft aren't interesting to me. I'll take military or classics anytime...

Besides, you try to shoot around any major airport and someone's going to call the cops on you...

Another type of photography I'm not interested in is car photography and particularly "rig" shots. They all look alike. There is nothing creative about it and they are beginning to fall into the cliche category (right along with the ubiquitous blurred waterfall.) I do like vintage automobiles and vintage sports car racing, but that's about it.

We seem to make out OK here in Phoenix. Rarely do any of our guys get hassled at Sky Harbor and they actually like us over at Williams-Gateway. We can even bring ladders to get up over the fence!

Abstract snaps upset me. If i want a close-up picture of a third of a door.... umm I dunno how to finish that sentence. Something.

The kind that you take when you first get a lens or camera and you take "test" shots in your dark living room and post them in POTN with the word "awesome!"

I don't much care for HDR (in general), Landscapes, flowers, or nightclub photos.

I enjoy trying pretty much any of it at this point. I don't think I've ever ventured into the "birding" forum here. I really don't care for a picture of each bird the photographer has seen, but I like the pics of an Eagle plucking it's meal out of the water.

Mostly, I take pictures of my kids and macros. Some "product" type shots here and there as well. All just for fun.

I just looked at the different share your pics forums and I have never clicked on the Astronomy forum before. So there's another one.
