I get it. Just lots to get to for him before it. As I mentioned before I personally prefer to use what the camera offers, so Im not editing in my office behind a computer for hours. Which you are good with, and thats great. Different strokes. But I do take a pure RAW and JPEG shot of what i'm taking to have just in case I just cant get it right tweaking in the camera. But I will find something like a random beautiful tree/rock formation/landscape that I OCD over in the same spot for hours. I rather be out there instead of in my office.

To me, much of the interest comes from editing. Composition comes naturally after a short while.
Hearing the technical side of things like photography is very interesting. For most, it's "Point & click". Framing, composition, aperture, lighting, etc.

"Getting" the light is the most difficult part. I'm not a very patient person, I usually take pictures as I see them. I've got friends who will camp out for days to get the right shot.
Stuff like shooting the Aurora is difficult.

Sure, I played PF's "Wish You Were Here". It was stressful and didn't come naturally. A backflip on a balance beam was way easier.

I'm big into shooting wildlife, mainly bears or mountain goats.

There are some really good not so expense options in the high end "point and shoots" that can get you out of just the regular phone pics. Cause i'm more outdoor/travel I need to avoid weight/space I've actually gravitated towards these higher end "all in ones," so im not dealing with lens. you can get way way way more bang for you buck in one package too instead of the small dslrs like the canon rebels.

I recently bought a bow and have picked up back yard archery and will be bow hunting often, including for elk in a few months.
Fishing.
Learn an instrument. I tried the keys, still do from time to time but really takes some effort. Hard to find the time to really dedicate myself to learning it well.
Golf. It’s important for any white collar male to know how to at least kind of play golf.
Learn some handiman skills.
Brew your own beer.
Hiking/learning survival skills.

Yeah, that's what I was referring too.
Reloading could be considered a good hobbie to get into.

Get into reloading. It drops the cost per round by alot so you can pew pew pew alot more.

Very cool. I havent gone somewhere that has bears to catch. I have been working towards photo "hunting", but I prefer to find that random odd unseen tree for some reason.

I want to second anything outdoors.
Hunting, fishing, camping, hiking. Maybe not an economic boost but certainly worth a shot and you'll learn great skills.

I'm crazy about bears. Brown and black. It's fairly common to see them when we're hiking. But I've got a couple of spots where they like to fish I'll go hang out for a while.

Playing poker 150-200 hours a month for basically five bucks an hour?
it's about a lot more than just making money. most suggestions in this thread are net negative, so a lot lower return than $5/hour
plus, i started from scratch to build my bankroll up. i didn't just roll myself with infinite money. bigger games = bigger returns

I've played golf for decades. Belong to a couple of groups and we play in a league traveling to local courses or spending weekends further away. Points system prevents "sandbagging".
I shoot skeet/trap and sporting clays.
One of my most enjoyable "hobbies" that I picked up watching youtube vids, was small engine repair. Lawnmowers, blowers, chain saws, weed eaters...Repaired dozens for myself and friends. Only failure was a Poulon chainsaw.

The outdoors is fantastic for your sense of well being. I would say necessary.
I generally try not to combine making money with hobbies but I'm thrifty too, so I do try to keep it under control.
