    You should try. Photography is a great hobby to get into and not had hard as you might imagine, if you practice a lot and learn about cameras and lighting etc.

    This isn’t to take away from outstanding photography and more to be encouraging.

    I spent a week in a spare room photography water droplets coming out of an IV bag and it was really fun to play around with shutter speeds, lighting, and other items to get the best shots.

    It’s expensive if you start buying more things but if you did try then get a used camera body and some cheap lenses and see if you like it.

      I’ve been thinking about getting a camera. Just last night I saw a barn owl for the first time in the wild!

        Nice. I’ve never seen an owl in person. Keep meaning to go to a birds of prey place near work that has owls and stuff. Fascinating birds.

          They are really fascinating! I volunteer at a raptor rescue so I have seen several different ones there but in the wild only barred owls and now a barn owl.

          You absolutely should! I was just a little more than a casual fan a couple years ago, but I started to seek them out more, and from being here I have probably over 1000 posts on owls now and I am still learning new things about them!

          I also had my one on one interview today with the largest rescue in my state to become a volunteer so I can hopefully learn even more and spend more time in person with them.
