If you enjoy photography, what's your favourite subject to shoot?? I'm into dogs too, so it's a no brainer for me, but I particularly like to shoot running dogs especially flyball. For those more into cars than dogs (really? :D ) there's a fair bit of overlap between shooting a running dog and a moving car so the techniques are quite similar. Here's a couple I prepared earlier

I've been a photographer for about 30 years now and have quite a bit of kit. Although I lean towards transport and night photography, I cover all types of photography and like trying new ideas and subjects.

Just a few of my photos:

I've browsed your stuff several times in recent years Dave. I'd love to make a living from it but I think my current skill set needs broadening for that, so I'm just treating it as supplementary at the moment.

I'd love to make a living from my photography but I just concentrate on creating photos I'm pleased with - the pro photographic world is intense and effort v financial reward is quite low until you've made your name. Problem is now digital cameras make photography accessible to all, it seems every bugger thinks they're David Bailey!!
As long as you enjoy taking photos, that's all that matters. Anything else is a bonus.
