target shooting (either pistol, or long distance rifle with bolt action (like .308, 6.5 Swiss, or other 6.5 calibers). This requires a lot of preparation (like re-loading cases with right powder and bullets, calculating ballistic performance of your reloads, projecting weather on the day ahead and optimizing your setup for that weather, etc). Also very slow an deliberate. --- Another one, is bird photography. Also requires preparation, thinking about technology and physical/nature stuff. Also slow and requires patience. You can extend bird photography, if you use film -- into subsequent print development, including printing on non-traditional media/canvases. This works well for folks, like me, who do not have painting skills but would like to express their view of the worlds/ideas through pictures... That makes into art, producing very unique non-repeatable artifacts (that's probably not possible to achieve with digital). -- In both of the above, at the end you have something to show for it (either paper targets, or pictures). So that creates memories, enables story telling, etc.
