The Ultimate Bucket List

[Amy]

I know there was a similar thread to this not so long ago, but I've searched and I can't find it.

I'm compiling my bucket list and am a bit stuck. There seems to be some obligatory shots I need to have a go at - most recently done is the water drop on leaf ;-) Shots need to be realistic (so no "I want photos of a plane flying past a harvest moon as a small child waves from a back window") but stuff which is a long term focus..



Any ideas...

You might find these discussion threads helpful in compiling your bucket list. 8)

i think that the best shots are coming spontaneously..
just go out and start shooting =]

[Cromwell]

Exactly! @golzman is right. Don't follow what others have shot. Shoot what YOU find interesting and maybe others will try to copy you!

I put this list up last month when I finished, very tongue-in-cheek and compiled from a number of bucket lists / 1001 mandatory shot lists

Just because it amuses me I double-checked the 1001 mandatory shot threads and listed out the shots we all must take:

Fizzy fruit - check
Levitation - does jumping count?
Self Portrait - check
HDR - check
Light Trails - check
Water drop - check
Bee shot - check
Sunset - check
Sunrise - check
Bubbles - check
Macro photo - check
Street photography - check
Bokeh - check
Out of focus - check
Multiplicity - check
Traffic trails - check
Fairground blur - check
Coastal Sunset - check (it's in a collage, but it exists)
Butterfly wings - check
lone tree - check
nude selfie -check
eye - check - we had a week of them

squirrel - fail

- it's here http://365project.org/shanne/365/2012-04-10 - I'm afraid I moved it when I was shuffling a few things around for my own nefarious purposes

[Monika]

@sandier I guess this goes with what I was saying the other day with my fizzy fruit! I don't take it seriously, but there are some ideas I really liked, it's particularly useful on days when inspiration is low :)

@sueh might this help? :)

[Sue Hawkins]

@filsie65 Thanks for this! I copied and pasted to my word file so when I am desperate I can choose a challenge! also I can add ideas to it as I see things I fancy trying.

[Amy]

Ah this is a great list, exactly what I was after, nothing set in stone but a bit of inspiration for those tough days!

[Tori]

whoop... pinching
