>>Primary style(s) of photography
Lightning/ thunderstorms and landscapes were my primary reasons to get more into it, it mostly stayed the same, but I'm trying my hand at portraits too more recently (family, friends)

5000 euros or something, not too sure, but not all that much over that many years.

>>Professional? Hobbyist?
Hobbyist. I got a steady job so, hmm, at 41 it gets harder to just 'go live your dream!' I do, finally, feel like i'd be good enough in the photo/ editing part of it to not sell junk to go pro should I want. I just don't know if I want my hobby to be a job...
>>If a professional, what kind of wage do you make? If a hobbyist, have you ever made any money doing this? No money made
>>If a professional, do you wish you had a different career (and if so, what kind)? If a hobbyist, what is your career now, and do you ever want to be a professional (and if so, what kind)? I do order entry at a logistics firm. It's pretty intense despite what the job title might imply. I like it though. Going pro photography feels like it I might like it, or just drain all the fun out of a hobby I really enjoy though, I don't think I want to risk it.
>>Favorite photographer
None and all really, I enjoy good photographs :)
>>Preferred fast food restaurant
None
>>The last time you actually took a decent photograph (don't lie)
This weekend, my GF overlooking a valley :)
(PIC related is an insane 1/6 sec or something shot in daylight capturing lightning by accident )
