What's your favourite subject?

Just wondering what makes people the shutter bugs that they are. What's your favourite subject to shoot? How about least favourite, or most difficult?

For me, I love capturing emotions and expressions: laughing, surprise, sleepy...my main focal points usually consist of my critters, family and the scenery which surrounds me in Gold River (or wherever I am).

I find the most challenging photographs to take are of wildlife. It's difficult to fully prepare yourself for when a bear, elk or cougar decides to make an appearance and by the time I have my camera out and ready, they are often pouncing off into the bush - leaving me with more butt shots than I care to admit! As well, having a 95 lb. Labrador with me who thinks he owns the forest makes it a challenge when he's off chasing whatever there is to chase!

My favorite subject are people, everyone being a distant universe full of light of its own, and this is the most challenging subject too, imho.

I like to photography people.  To me, nothing else is as interesting as trying to capture something about a person or a moment in time.  I find other pictures to be "this is what you would have seen if you were there."  Pictures about people, when done right, can be more about "this is what you might never have seen even if you were there."

Great stuff, Max!
