What is your "Photographic Bucket List"?

Yeah yeah, it's off topic but I'd like to see what the folks who shoot 1 and 5 series Canon Cameras have on their photographic Bucket Lists.

This is a list of how ever many photos you want to shoot; but that you must shoot before you "kick the bucket" or "pass on" if you aren't familiar with the slang or the movie.

Here is my Top 10 Bucket List photos...

1) Lightning (Complete)

2) An Active Volcanic Eruption - preferrably with a nice Lava Flow

3) Pyramids at Giza

4) The Great Wall

5) The Grand Canyon

6) An Orca, underwater in its natural habitat ( I love Orcas)

7) the Aurora Borealis

8) Angel Falls - chosen because it's so difficult to photograph due to clouds

9) Stonehenge (the real one)

10) A Celebrity Portrait

What's on your bucket list?

Happy Friday!

it seems unrealistic for our generation.... sadly.... If the US hadn't invaded iraq for no reason and spend that billion dollars on energy research like fusion, maybe... but now... its all been wasted... and there is not gonna be any money for manhattan/apollo like projects not anytime soon.... so, in the end Bush and such screwed up our ticket to mars... aaargh

and poor obama, as capable as he could have been, has to deal with other people's mess and the citizens will, even if only subconsciously, associate him with this big financial mess after some time. There is gonna be bad news and his face will be next to the headline... It's so unfair... because that's gonna be keeping him busy for ages....

still... we'll all get out of the mess and hopefully people with IQ will follow to steer further in the right direction... like spending the money on energy research instead of invading countries for the wrong reasons.... can't stop being mad about this mess, sorry

This was hard.

1. Santorini, Greek Islands in general

2. New Zealand

3. Galapagos

4. Thailand

5. China - great wall, terracotta warriors, forbidden city.

6. African wildlife tour

7. Machu Picchu

8. Switzerland

9. Alaska

10. Cruise the United States with my fully loaded Gold Wing for the summer. Not that I have not been to the states. Just want to cruise it. Oh yea - need Gold Wing too. Oregon coast for sure.

feathered for posting a message in this forum that has nothing do with the cameras for which this forum is about.

At least they could have said what images are in your bucket list for your 5d2.

How about a thread that has what images are in your bucket list and what camera in this forum to you intend to shoot it with?

Haha.

As for taking a picture of an Orca you can come to my place and photograph my girlfriend swimming under water in the pool.

You really want to be forced into "starvation" don't you ?

I think it is a great thread, such threads can be very inspirational to fellow photographer and push them further to go out and take photographs, independently of what camera is used.

Wow, this one was going to be on my list but then I decided to keep it "realistic" and now I realize that pretty much defeats the purpose of the list itself!

Great idea!

Perhaps you're right...

I should have titled the thread

"My 5D2 has a Festering Boil on the sensor... OUTRAGE!"

Thanks for almost participating!
