Greetings everyone,
Today I'm attending another contest by Steem Sri Lanka community. And this is the week -05 of this 3G contest series. This week the theme or topic of the contest is Write about your hobby. I'm really very excited to talk about my hobby or passion I can say. My hobby also pay me for practicing it. Isn't it sounds great?

After seeing the image above you may already can guess my hobby and this is PHOTOGRAPHY I love photography as my hobby or passion you can say. We all knows that hobbies are not something that we can use as profession but about me its different because I made several photo selling portfolio to learn about the quality of my photos and my phone and camera both help me to practice it and more important thing is that I enjoy capturing photos whenever I go to a new place or location.

In this contest friend @sandun98 asked some questions as points and now I'm going to answer them one by one as I don't want to miss any point:

• What your hobby is. If you have Multiple hobbies, you have to choose the Best of them:
  Photography and art both are my hobbies but I choose the best one and that is Photography

• When did you start this hobby?:
  Well, as a hobbyist I started photography when I was in college with my smartphone and gradually I update my gadgets and bought my canon two years ago to start it professionally though I'm still a amateur photographer but I'm trying to be good in it.

• Why did you choose this hobby?
  Behind this hobby there was no particular reason or any plan to move it to my profession. I enjoy capturing moments and I love to do it so its became my hobby. Now I have a reason that I want to be creative in it.

• How much time do you spend with it daily?
  Not daily I go for shoot but I spend time editing my photographs I have captured to make it more sharp and attractive. I use several software for this like photoshop, lightroom and several apps. Editing also when I get free time not daily to be honest.

• Benefits/Learnings you get from this Hobby:

I feel satisfaction mentally when I do this. I'm still learning as there is no end of learning I believe. Photography also help me to earn from stock photo selling sites but its a seasonal income as there are huge professional photographer's portfolio available there so its not easy for a amateur photographer to compete them. I'm still learning and practicing.

• Special achievements you Achieved with the help of it:

Well, not yet such big achievement I have in photography but I had payout from stock photography sites like shutterstock and pending earning in dreamstime, alamy, adobe stock, getty images and so many stock photo selling sites, I have portfolio with all popular stock sites.

• You can Include Relevant Photos you have.
  I think I've already included some above and one more photo I would like to include to show off my photography. My next image will be a college view of my photographs.
