Can’t stand spiders (beyond like Daddy Long Legs, I don’t squish spiders, but also keep them away from me lol) but I feel you, “walking through the woods looking for cool bugs and mushrooms and lizards and shit” usually earns me odd looks until I mention “I also smoke weed there.”
Actually that’s a big reason I finally bought a camera I’d been eyeing but couldn’t justify the cost, so I would look less weird to anyone I tell my hobbies or happen to pass near a trail. I debated on a bear suit (jk lol), settled on a purpose that is seen as “normal” instead. More expensive but what can ya do I don’t wanna look creepy or deal with judgement from people who only “phone” and think lizards are weird. Good cover for the cops too, since my usual cover is illegal still.
Wish I’d gotten one years ago though, the phone robbed me of any will to take photos and somehow getting the camera brought it back, maybe it’s just nostalgia from the advent of Digital Photography but whatever it is I’m glad I found it again.
Walking through the woods is awesome, just phrase it that you love nature and the outdoors, boom done. I love hiking, and not in small part because of the cool shit you find and to smoke weed out in nature.
Does it count as hiking without significant elevation? I always thought that was a defining factor but that would simplify things, until I meet a real hiker lmao then I’d be outclassed I’m sure. We’ve got hills but overall it’s fairly flat around here, it’s not like Colorado lol! Not that I’d be opposed to real hiking (I’d love to) it’s just not feasible to do regularly for me.
But yeah I do phrase it as liking nature, but that only “works” when you meet others who do too, for people who just Playstation all day it’s still “weird.” Meanwhile I totally understand gaming even if I don’t do it much anymore, rude! Lol, throwing a camera in the mix makes even those people “get” it so far ime.
Sure! I’ve been on hikes with little elevation change, if it’s not on a paved pathway it’s hiking in my book! Now, the best hikes definitely have some elevation bc those views make everything worth it (for me at least), but that’s not every hike. Sometimes you just need to be out in the trees.
And dawg, those are the weirdos. We’re meant to be out in nature, not cooped up inside all the time. I love gaming too, but it can’t be all you do especially when the sun is shining.
Shit, I’m a hiker and didn’t even know it! I can work with that lol. Sometimes there is a paved path at the location though, but you have to go off the path to see anything cool.
Tbh I can understand the gamers too, it is fun to do and with the online factor it can be social, more so than the woods ime tbh. Some games are basically a book you can play, like Morrowind. I think it’d probably be good for them to get out yeah but I’m not gonna judge them too hard, and that’s all I ask in return.
Still glad I got the camera though, not just because it helps cut the awkwardness but also it is just fun taking pics of cool shit and cute cats, the “not being judged” part is just a bonus really.
I love that you got a camera to cover your weed smoking nature hikes. I was gifted a gadget that attaches to my phone recently, it came with a macro lens so I’ve been using that to take more big pictures. I was considering getting a camera with macro lens before I received that, but I may still get one. What camera do you have?
I love stoned walks and I also do those as frequently as I can. What is your favorite thing you like to take pictures of?
Lol it definitely helps! Cops just think I’m a nerd, and I am but I’m a nerd with illegal drugs ^the ^horror!
That’s awesome, I still need a macro lens myself, and a telephoto, but it’s so much money I’m gonna have to save up for them. That’s ok though because I’m still learning how to really use it with the lens I have lol. I got a Fujifilm X-T4 with an 18-55mm 1.2-4f lens, got it used from KEH (online retailer, new iirc and used) to save a few bucks since I don’t have Facebook Marketplace.
I like taking pictures of any animal I can get a good shot of and any cool mushrooms or flowers. I’m limited so far in that I can’t get super close ups without the macro or telephoto lenses, but I haven’t hit the lottery yet haha. Mostly lizards, snakes, turtles, and my/friend’s pets lol. I also used to write graffiti until the block got too hot, (I never said that) so I also like a bit of “urbex” as they call it as well, or as I call it “trespassing around looking for good graff.” I’m also trying to figure out a good spot near me to “bench,” which is just railfanning for graffiti writers, waiting for trains to photo (looking for the graff on the freight cars, the railfans like the engines.) There’s tracks 3min from my door but idk if they’re rolling slow enough and I only hear them pass by at night, I need sunlight!
Just about the only thing I don’t like photographing is people, mostly because idk how to and people are always “let me see, oh I don’t like that one take another” and it becomes a whole thing. I’d like to find someone willing to help me practice but also feel creepy trying to ask, so I’ll wait until that opportunity knocks, it will I’m sure.
