Photography
I have usually used an iPhone specifically for the past decade. It was to look back on memories, but the advantage of photography as a hobby is that it can be done alone or with others. Unforgettable memories to look back on for some beautiful images to be viewed and inspired allowed me to naturally self-teach myself positioning, lighting, and color grade (to a degree). Photography allows solo photo walks to explore rainy leaves to be captured or snowed in the neighborhood or even in traveled locations across the globe to journal visually. It will enable others who may never have had that chance to view from the perspective taken. Taking pictures is fun, but it will help me further cultivate the skill of learning about different types of cameras besides an iPhone.
