Other Interests - Whats your other Hobbies

[Golly Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close Golly]

Well, lets gets some gossip out of all of you regarding what you do for fun other than 4WDing and no we dont want to here about your bedroom antics :lol:
For example, I love to sing, was the lead singer of a Country Rock/Blues/Classic Rock cover band in Perth a year or so ago. Biggest gig we had was New Years Eve for around 1400 people. Great gig, my other interests are Race Sims for the PC which I paint for people of all ages "skins" for there cars. Myself and my east coast partner in crime Nigel formed EastWest Extreme a while ago now, our site is just coming together now. Together we have painted over 300 cars for people over the last couple of years. I recently painted a Toyota Nascar for a 62 year old chap and also a skin for his 15 year old grandson. Awsome!. I will upload a few videos of the New Years eve gig and link up some paints I have done for you to either enjoy, laugh or cry at lmao!!!
Thats my little sidelines, apart from a family of 4 girls to compete with, life is pretty hectic without play time, which daddy needs now and then haha...

So, there ya go, lets here about your hobbies people.

Some Paint schemes I have designed




Our Band banner I designed

Re: Other Interests - Whats your other Hobbies

For me, my biggest hobby would be motorcycles.

I love touring on the bikes to all sorts of places with a few mates, great roads, thrills and laughs.

I'm also into flying both fixed and rotary wing, learning both, soon to do GFPT for the fixed, rotary is on hold until PPL for fixed is attained, then will do conversion to save plenty of $$.
Guns is another, and of course PC's and tech.

Re: Other Interests - Whats your other Hobbies

Whilst photography is my career path, it's also my hobby and I believe you CAN do it for both.

specifically I shoot large format film landscapes for my hobby, but it's a bit hard to get out these days with the 2 girls & wife needing so much of my devoted time

I grew up in a musical family and played trumpet since 6 or 7. Played in stage bands all through school but I don't pick it up much these days.
I also LOVE radio controlled aircraft but only have a very basic chopper. I'd love to get into that fully, especially flying them through wireless cameras and VR goggles, but that's just another super expensive hobby :roll:

all in all I love anything that costs heaps to do :?

Re: Other Interests - Whats your other Hobbies

they all look good but that Redback Beer one stands out... nice to see a design without the motif on the rear door (like the red bull one, although that does look ok). Been watching NASCAR recently and they could do with your talents, their cars look terrible!

Hobbies... photography mostly. Prefer B&W using variety of cameras up to 4x5" LF but don't get out and use them much. Hopeing to readdress that. Cleaned up and used my darkroom for the 1st time in a year or so last weekend and really enjoyed it. Other than that, don't do much other than run kids around to sporting activities.

Not much on my work computer to choose from, but here's a B&W print.

Re: Other Interests - Whats your other Hobbies

My interests include photography...I take snaps on holiday and of the kids but my main passion is landscape photography...not that I get much time for it though. I currently shoot with a fairly basic digital SLR setup and also own a Rolleiflex TLR that I don't use as often as I should. I did a little of my own developing for a while and had a Bronica ETRSi medium format setup for a while that I bought from a studio - I sold that to get a Fender Precision bass which I use for playing at my church. Would like to also have some time to persue other music projects....am very into indie music - Radiohead, Muse, Belle and Sebastian...

I'm also into Astronomy - have an 8" dobsonian reflector and a little refractor but too much light polution and trees to see much from where I am

I used to be a bit of a hacker at golf until I started coaching my son's soccer team last year - haven't played since.

Into camping and touring at the moment...planning trips, doing lots of short trips etc.

Into fishing (why am I into the things that cost big biccies ? - got some beach setups...used to do freshwater competition fishing in UK when I was a whippersnapper (wasn't much good at it though in truth

My other hobby is offroad racing. Im currently Building a MQ Patrol to run in the old Class 7 now called Production. Have a mate who runs a XJ Jeep, we are heading to Alice Springs in June to Run the Finke Desert Race. Expensive hobby but you can't beat Flying over jumps and sideways between trees!! then thinking your going quick...till a twin Turbo or V8 Buggy shoots past you and you get a face full of rocks! Awesome!

Re: Other Interests - Whats your other Hobbies

Photography is a bit of a hobby, so is fishing and power boating.

Seems photography is a bit of a hobby for everyone here.

audiophile

Yup...started down that track too...now there IS a way to throw money at a perceived problem - 25k for a pair of speakers ?....that will do nicely sir...just listen to the separation - wait a minute - you need this cable too - that'll be another 2k thanks...it's hand rolled by topless Nepalese maidens...of course only the truly discerning can hear the difference...</SARCASM>
