What is your top five favorite things to photograph?

Question:Mine are:
1. Rivers / streams/ creeks
2. Overall, nature. Forests, lakes, oceans, flowers.
3. City scenes in black and white
4. People not knowing they're being photographed. I like capturing a special moment. Like my grandmother and her sister at the bowling lanes, looking at pictures. And they look more beautiful in black and white.
5. Animals looking at you. You just catch that glimpse of them actually looking at you before they shut their eyes.

1. Night lights in the city (stop lights, cars, buildings, neon signs)
2. Flowers
3. Interesting architecture
4. FOOD - particularly baked goods (cupcakes!)
5. Pictures taken at dusk - I like the lighting and the sunset sky as a backdrop

Land and seascapes

Wildlife

Action shots, including people and machinery.

Professionally, I keep my eye out for potential background shots, and of specific objects to add to my morgue of "stock" images. The more of these I have on file, the less I'll have to buy when a client needs something. To that end, I have hundreds, perhaps thousands of vehicles, animals, buildings, flowers and other plants, aircraft and other assorted objects and people in action.
