PhotoHunt 53: Hobby

About | Theme: Hobby | Roll

Photo Hunter of the Day: Pollywog Creek. Go comment, Ok? Thanks!!

Newbies: JMB, Jill, Rachel, Steve, Shimmer, Cyndi, Kira, Nancy, Kelli, Kelli 2, Randy, BengBeng, SassyMom, Lissa, YTSL, Sly, and msdedi joined us this past week!

It may have been a hard week for many - snappin’ a photo of your hobby may not have been an easy task.

I have a lot of hobbies, many outdoors. However, for this theme I decided to photograph my scrapbooking hobby by taking a photo of a layout I made. I took a hand held mirror and held it up in front of the layout to include my camera in the photo. It took about 3 shots to get this one.

Scrap Credits: Paula Yagisawa’s Boys To Men Kit

Note: I don’t play golf - I was just hittin’ it in the back yard for fun - in the photos I missed the ball…. so it was all in good fun.

    HAPPY WEEKEND!

    Oh, TNChick, you and my sister would get along real well. She is obsessed with golf! Me? I’d prefer photography….but I much rather VIEW photography of others.

    My “HOBBY” is up, but not the hobby others are thinking of, I’m sure!!!

    I didn’t cheat this week, mine is up.

    TNChick did you know we have street golf in the UK and there was/is (not sure if it will continue as the organiser passed away this week) an annual Shoreditch Urban Golf tournament with 18 holes.

  7. 7. Comment by Heidi (23 comments.):

    Golf is just hard! And expensive too. I’ll keep to put-put golf or Par 3. Have a great weekend!

    I´ve never tried playing Golf so far… but your pictures are inspiring and Frank likes Golf - so: Who knows :-)

    Have a great weekend ya all - I´m looking forward to “hunt” your hobbies!

    And you’re definitely great at it! I’m still laughing though… I’m up… Not too surprising or creative…

  21. 21. Comment by Shawna (18 comments.):

    I scrapbook, too, but I haven’t had much time since my daughter was born! I have her a book started, but only have 3 pages finished. Hopefully, I’ll get back to it soon.

  22. 22. Comment by Shoshana (15 comments.):

    I am now officially in love with your fingernails.

    We of the not-so-good fingernail (mine are like newborns, very fragile) can only be envious of people with gorgeous nails like yours.

  23. 23. Comment by Barbara (193 comments.):

    Golf is a great game, I used to play and really enjoyed it. I like that it is a sport that can be enjoyed over an entire lifetime. Scrapbooking is loads of fun too. So is blogging!

  24. 24. Comment by Wendy in MD (4 comments.):

    Great layout (and photo)! I should have known you were a scrapbooker. I’m a scrapbooker, too!

  25. 25. Comment by Claire (33 comments.):

    It is 3.24am here in the UK and i am a bit drunk! mine is up now, i will probably forget about this when i wake up!

  26. 26. Comment by YellowRose (21 comments.):

    I had a hard time narrowing it down this week! You are making it harder each week!!! ;) Like your shot, very creative! My hubby and son are infatuated with golf!! I bought hubby a new set of Big Bertha clubs, he’s in heaven! Like a kid in a candy store! LOL I can’t get into it…but driving the cart is fun! ;)

    Happy Saturday!

  27. 27. Comment by Jane (49 comments.):

  29. 29. Comment by Michael - Lover of Amy (37 comments.):

  30. 30. Comment by Linda (31 comments.):

    What a great idea and what a great way to get your camera in there, too! Very imaginative! My hobby is probably a little stranger than most but then again, maybe not stranger than some!

  31. 31. Comment by Jamie (6 comments.):

    That is funny. Tiger Woods may be in trouble. Couldn’t decide between three hobbies so you get them all.

  32. 32. Comment by Lulu (22 comments.):

    Mine’s on scrapbooking, too! Don’t ya just love it? Do you do digital scrapbooking?

  36. 36. Comment by crookedeyebrow (29 comments.):

  37. 37. Comment by Grandma Cathy (5 comments.):

    I like to scrapbook too, and take pictures of my grandchildren, but I also like to paint, so that’s what I put up a picture of one of my paintings.

  38. 38. Comment by skittles (3 comments.):

    MIne is up! I love yours. YOu are sooo good at taking photos.

  39. 39. Comment by Gattina (85 comments.):

    The combination looks very good ! But I personally don’t know what is so interesting in walking behind a ball throw it in a hole and kill moles ! My son treats me as “ignorant” because he is a fervent golf player !

  40. 40. Comment by Heather (29 comments.):

    Great layout and fun photos. I don’t get golf which frustrated my dad to no end because I guess I have a really good swing when I feel like it and he LONGED to have me enjoy the game because of it. :)

  41. 41. Comment by Bee (5 comments.):

    These are just a few of the puzzles we have made, it is a great hobby and we can watch TV and have some fun!

  42. 42. Comment by Rose (16 comments.):

    My dear you are always so creative. Well I’m up and my hobby is something not meant for children, so I uploaded a photo of —. I’m so joking. Happy TT.

  45. 45. Comment by Prudence (27 comments.):

    Hi! It’s my first Saturday Photo Hunt. Want to get to know my hobby? Please visit my site.

  46. 47. Comment by srp (42 comments.):

    I thought our server was down but somehow both the modem and router reset themselves so I spent most of the evening on the line with tech support getting it worked out. They were going to charge me $30 for the router but I figured it out for myself… thank goodness I wrote all that down the other time this happened.

    That said… I am finally up.
    This shot of yours is most artistic… now, the golf is not up my alley. In high school they had one of those pitch and putt places with all par 3’s and I made a 20 on the first hole. No, I won’t be going out on the pro-circuit any time soon.

  47. 48. Comment by Lynn (47 comments.):

    My Hobby is up! You’re all invited to take a peek. I’ll be visiting the others later when I get back home. ;)

    What an awesome set of photos, good job getting the photo of the camera. LOL I didn’t even try and just went with some other hobbies.

    Mine is up too.

  52. 53. Comment by YTSL (73 comments.):

    Nice photo. Actually thought that it was a collage rather than single photo! :o

    Also, my HOBBY photos (two rather than one) are up — as it turns out, only some 24 hours or so after my CLEAN submission! :)

  53. 54. Comment by Connie (41 comments.):

    You really made that hobby look like lots of fun!! Great pictures.

    Take care,
    Connie

  54. 55. Comment by SilverWillow (46 comments.):

    I played golf once…yes that’s right, one time. I loved the golf cart the best! I was very good at that part. Tee-hee

    Mine is up this week. Have a nice weekend!

  57. 58. Comment by eph2810 (310 comments.):

    Very cool. You so rock, girl. I wish I had your talent with photography. Gave up after 16 shots of my camera in the mirror…So, I had to be a little more creative.

    I have never tried golf, except for putt-putt gold :grin:

    Have a wonderful Saturday, TNChick.

  67. 68. Comment by Bengbeng (18 comments.):

    I have put up my insects made from coconut leaves as my hobby of choice :) Cut my hand slightly cutting the leaves ( had to find younger leaves and most of them were old leaves and dry ) but the results are there for you to see on my photohunters post :)

  68. 70. Comment by Angelika (14 comments.):

    That’s my sort of golfing! And very clever technique. Photography-wise that is!

    My hobby is up.

  70. 72. Comment by Jan (bbsgirl) (21 comments.):

    I love your photos. they’re all so cool. I never got into golf and I have thought about starting a scrapbook, but never make time for it. I posted a photo of the books I enjoy reading for a hobby.

  71. 73. Comment by Dragonheart (82 comments.):

    Fun scrapbook page! :) Photography and scrapbooking both sound like fun hobbies!

    My hobby is up. :)

  75. 77. Comment by Mrs Lifecruiser (148 comments.):

    Ah, good mixing of hobbies :-) It was a bit tough even for me to choose what hobby to represent this week!

  76. 78. Comment by Patricia (88 comments.):

    I love it! The golf photos are hysterical and I love the way you created the page with the mirror and your camera. I am floored that you made me site of the day! Thank you so much. I love having visitors to Pollywog Creek….guess I better go bake more loaves of blueberry bread and a large pitcher of sweet tea to share! Blessings!

  80. 82. Comment by Steve Williams (2 comments.):

    Today marks my first post as a photo hunters. I thought the idea of hobby would be an easy one but as most things I think will be easy it didn’t turn out that way.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone’s posts.

    Thanks!

  82. 84. Comment by Larry (63 comments.):

    didn’t like all the walking to play golf so never really learned how to play LOL - mighty fine fingernails you have there — FYI, I bite mine. My hobby photo is up now too.

  83. 85. Comment by Jennifer (8 comments.):

    I love, love, love digital scrapping! In fact I just scrapped this week’s photo hunter theme as I felt that was most representative of my hobby.

  84. 86. Comment by Karen (Pediascribe) (45 comments.):

    I am relatively new to the blogosphere, so I had no idea this Photo Hunt existed!

    How FUN! I joined in this week. Hope I did it right!!!

    As for golf….miniature golf is great, as is “real” golf on the Wii…..but I’ve never golfed on a real big course before! I’m sure I’d always be letting the people behind me play through!

  85. 87. Comment by CrAzY Working Mom (89 comments.):

    That’s an awesome lay out. I’ve never played a game of golf in my life! I’m sure you’re way better at it then myself!!! :)

    Hope you have a great Saturday. Come see my hobby when ya get a chance!

  86. 88. Comment by Twisted Cinderella (65 comments.):

    Great hobbie - the page looks great. Mine is up - DH’s hobby of rebuilding a muscle car.

  89. 91. Comment by Write From Karen (68 comments.):

    LOL! LOVE it! That’s me playing golf, perfectly. Once again, you get points for creativity. :D

    This was one WAS hard - not because I couldn’t think of anything to take a picture of but because it hard to decide which one to take a picture of! lol

    Have an excellent weekend!

  92. 94. Comment by Sue (3 comments.):

    Awesome photo! Mine is online now too! Stop by if you have a moment, and have a terrific weekend!

  93. 95. Comment by Morgen (6 comments.):

    I couldn’t narrow it down to only one hobby, so I posted a picture that incorporated two of my hobbies (cat blogging & E-Bay) then used that picture to illustrate another hobby (photo-imaging on the computer).
    So we get 3 photos to hunt for in one post at It’s A Blog Eat Blog World this week!

    I rock at what we call “putt-putt” here that others might call minature golf, but that’s the extent of my golf skills (smile). I’m up later than normal but, I hope that everyone has a fantastic Photo Hunting weekend!

    Hi I already posted that mine is up, but just wondered if you all could help me out? Some people are saying that my picture isn’t showing up and I’ve set up a poll to see if I can find out whether most people can see it or not. If you have a minute I’d appreciate it if you would pop and have a quick look - thanks alot :)

    I’m very late but finally up!! It’s been a busy few days.

    I like scrapbooking and photography, too, though I am very new to scrapbooking and have never done it digitally yet. I am NOT good at golf at all, though. :)

  116. 119. Comment by Barbara H. (101 comments.):

    P.S. — That was clever how you used the mirror!

  117. 120. Comment by meeyauw (14 comments.):

    I am so impressed! I wish that someday I can have creative thoughts like that! But someday I plan on trying golf. It seems like a great thing to do in the summer. Very relaxing. Perhaps.

  118. 121. Comment by sarala (22 comments.):
