Any cheaper hobbies to replace photography?Photography was a reason I'd blindly go walk into a nature reserve, I don't want to lose that without some form of alternative.
What climate do you live in? Do you live in an apartment? Anyway it's warming up in the northern hemisphere, so container gardening is fun and not too expensive and is good for the environment and your health. You can even do it in an apartment if you have a balcony with good sunlight. You can start with herbs, like mint which are basically unkillable and cost less than $5.
>>4508439just use the camera you have instead of buying more gear?
>>4508439If you like waking nature, you can just do that without a cameraIf you're autist, perfect reason to start birdingHiking is a cheap hobby, but camping can get as expensive as camerasRunning is a cheap hobby you can do most anywhereYou can engage with photography cheaply too
>>4508439Translated into English:>Any cheaper hobbies to replace gearfagging?>Gearfagging was a reason I'd blindly go walk into a nature reserve, I don't want to lose that without some form of alternative.I suggest photography.
>>4508439Uhmm what part of photography is costing you money?Or is your imam complaining about your hobby being haram again?
>>4508439Plein air painting.
>>4508481I'm too broke to be a gearfag>>4508482Haha, I totally have no clue what you're talking about. Its just upgrades to get to a stable ground. All I want really is a full frame and a lens for landscapes.I have the 800D rn and I feel it a lot especially in low light. Canon entry cameras are actual scams. My whole setup costs like 1000ish depending how much you value the 800D. My goal is just to find another hobby where spending a 1000 is equivalent to buying the R5 mark II
>>4508439get a boat then come back to photography and never complain about cost ever again
>>4508523But it's a one time expense only, just save up and get what you need.
>>4508523All of these were on gear worse than an 800D. If your focus is landscapes, that's actually one of the best opportunities for basic gear.What do your landscapes look like?If you want more resolution, take 3 or more shots and stitch them together, now you have more resolution than an R5IIIf you want better lowlight performance, use a tripod, and now you have better lowlight performance than an R5II (only applies to static scenes), upgrading lenses typically yields greater lowlight gains tooIf your strict about exposure, and shoot at ISO 100, you will have more dynamic range than someone more casually using their R5II on auto ISO hitting 250 or above
>>4508539Flickr thief strikes again with an ass take and a bunch of other peoples photos.Everything this guy posts is carefully constructed cope to avoid inducing his own buyers remorse over the $$$$ fuji kit he bought for dog snapshotsjust dont listen to flickr thief>>4508523Get the fuck rid of that piece of shit canon. Buy ANY nikon. Even a lowly d5xxx aps-c DSLR would be great but honestly if you hit up fb market d750s and d800s are <$500 any day and the 24-120 f4 VR is the last lens a landscape photographer will ever need. You now have significantly less use for bullshit like tripods, GNDs and bracketing, especially with a decent VR zoom, and can stick to just a CPL simply because nikon uses good sensor technology. You will never actually need to upgrade from a ff nikon dslr!IIRC in full frame only nikon is the #1 or #2 brand depending on whether or not sony dropped something and everyone fled to it before their old snoy broke.
>>4508539You need some dog pics to round out that sample gallery imo.
>>4508539digicope and chartfag tier opinions complete with a collage of uselessly small thumbnails of other peoples photos. whats next, a dpreview screenshot?

>>4508477BUT I MUST CONSOOOOOM>>4508478I love camping but I wouldn't think of it as a traditional hobby. It's not something I can do anywhere. Also what makes it expensive? Only expense I had is some starter gear and a cheap tent.>>4508532>>4508609>>4508613My point is just getting more bang for buck . Instead of spending 1k and having low-medium end gear. I'm looking for a hobby where 1k would be medium-high instead if that makes sense.
>>4508625Paint brushes, paints, nice paper, easel. High end gear for less than 1k.
>>4508523I know everyone in this board is shilling for his own gear and technique but have you considered switching to film?You can get an olympus 35C for 150$ and that's literally all you need to go out. This is an all mechanical camera so entirely repairable, you buy it for life. By using film you always have the best analog "sensor" you could have, it's all about glass, and the 35c has a great fixed lens. People say film is expensive but it has a very low entry point for an excellent camera, and then you can just shoot less if you want to save money. Thinking about the price per shot could actually make your photo better. If you just invest the money you get from selling your current gear in buying cheap film (gold / fuji / or litteraly anny B&W) you are good for half a year at least.Photo is my reason to go out, and I feel like film works very well with this mindset. Having to wait for the result makes it more motivating.
>>4508609>Flickr thief strikesThank you for the compliment>>4508610Just remember this next time anyone says I only do photos of dogs >>4508625I guess car camping with a budget tent is pretty cheap, but if you ever get into like actual backpacking, things will add up>cooking, filtration, tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, backpack, permits, gas to get there, bear canisters, shoes, jackets, etcJust my backpack and go-to tent is $840 at full retail priceOne thing to consider is cost over time. While photo does have that large up front cost, it's not like you have to buy new gear all the time, most of those pics were taken on a body I've had for 10 years now, and still useMany other hobbies have much steeper long run costsIf you aren't getting pics like I posted, you still have a lot of reply to grow with the 800d anyways
>>4508625>nikon ff DSLR>low medium endThe D810 is literally better than every fujifilm, every panasonic, all micro four thirds, the z6/z7, z6ii/z7ii, every nikon and canon aps-c, and every sony camera period. Stop being a a bitch>but i want an r5/z8/phasone iq180!Cry moar
>>4508667OP doesn't really care about photography it seems, they just want something more immediately gratifying with as little effort as possible
>>4508665>photo thief fujislug is also a glamping redditorMy tent and backpack were $150 between sportsmans warehouse and army surplus. Then I bought a .40 magnum glock for $500 at a yard sale in case of bear. Git gud.
>>4508669Based mountain man saving his money for full frame
>>4508669What kind of tent and backpack do you have?There are lots of good cheap budget options I could recommend for OP, but if you do a lot of backpacking, eventually you'll want something a bit nicerWhen I said bear canister, did you think I meant bear spray? Sounds like you don't actually go backpacking lol
