I know that many of us would answer that we'd like to spend most of our waking hours doing photography (and some of you do!) - but I was curious, how many hours per week do you spend on photography?
Include all time related to making pictures (e.g., set-up time, taking pictures, post-processing, etc.). Do not include "business" related hours, like time spent "marketing/selling" your pictures.
Just curious. Personally, I get about 3-5 hours/week dedicated to my hobby. (Sad, I know.) |

Wow, maybe an hour? Most of my shooting is done while I'm out doing other things.

Not nearly as much as I'd like to. :o)
ed- okay I'll give myself an hour a day. 7/week, maybe more.
Does this include time spent dodging about on DPC? I'm in trouble....

| Nah, let's not include DPC surfing, that would just over-inflate the numbers. Besides, half the time I'm surfing DPC, I'm also sitting in on an incredibly boring audioconference at work - so how would I log those hours? Too confusing.... :-) |

| Probably on average 3 hours a week (if we don't count DPC surfing and then it would be just pathetic). Sometimes more if I actually have to leave the house to shoot. |

Not enough...wish I didn't have to work a job so that I could be out and catching the right light of the day. I work from 730am to 5pm so there is no morning light some days and the sun has set on others. Just kind of sucks to have a regular job.

I am still learning many things so I spend about 5-8 hours, most of it trying new things that just don't work.

| 20-24 hours would be a conservative estimate. Includes processing time and printing. But, I'm retired and have the time to play. |

At the moment i am editing a wedding, so every waking hour is spent here... have also been getting competition photos ready as well, so more waking time at the moment.... when im not sitting here, im rushing off to do washing, getting dinner cooked, and trying to help kids with homework..... i only sleep about 5 hours everynight, and in hte past two weeks i've actually done 3 all nighters.... ( not in a row )..lol...
when im just 'playing' nothing big on.... i don't spend quite as much time here, but i do spend a lot of time, as i tell people, " Im studying overseas at the moment".... that means learning off you guy's.... Thanks..!!
im just obsessed.. and loving it.....
