Photography has been the only real 'non tech hobby' that Ive stuck with through the years. It encapsulates everything I love into one hobby:
- Fun social activity if you make friends with other photographers/find a club locally
- Instant Visual creation of something (since my brain rejects spending too much time on something like a drawing, only for it to turn out crappy)
- Fun/Neurotic Tech options when it comes to Lenses/Bodies/Gear. Love the rabbithole of researching exactly what I need/want.
- Lots of technical detail involved in learning different aspects of it, and really understanding properties of light
- I love DataHoarding, so organizing photos on my NAS using Lightroom makes my brain happy too.
- Actually gets me active, outside and moving, which has been a problem for me in the past (since I hyperfocus on logical problems, and loathe the gym as a waste of time)
The only downside is that during the winter I find it harder to get out and take pictures, but at least they're getting warmer!.. :(
