one wish

If you and a chance to take a photograph of anything that is close to your heart or what you would love to get a photo of what would it be? And what n where in the world would it be?
What camera would you take or use??

Miss January will do for me, or even February or March or any of the other months

Seriously though, there are so many things I would like to do I think it would be difficult to pick one, amongst the top few would be snapping Grizly or Polar bears in the wild, American classics in Cuba, Red Squirrels.

For me it would have to be Great white shark Just love em with chips lol Seriously too its one of my dreams to swim and photograph them in the wild.

I don't need to travel far to find the sort of things I like to photograph. Every corner of the world has its own special features, including right where we live. I gave up doing travel shots a long time ago and tend to concentrate on details. These details are everywhere, so one place is much like any other place in this respect.

However, new places do inspire and excite, so the next deserted airfield or hidden building I find, or the next brilliant bloom, or the next gorgeous model, that will be my favourite place to be and my favourite place to photograph.

Annapurna.

One of those new Pentax medium format digital cameras (c.£10,000) and the widest prime lens to suit.

With perhaps Jennifer Anniston available in case mist obscures the Himalayas. Same camera, longer prime lens.

But, in truth, I'll be just as happy in North Wales next week with my lovely M10 fitted with Mk1 18-55 and my family around me.

(Better not mention the Jennifer Anniston thing to Mrs C., though.)

Well thought out John and very good answer i like it but still would like that Great white

For me it's all about the light, the weather and the season as it's a rare thing when you are in a beautiful spot at exactly the right time.

You always of course have to actually have your (Pentax?)camera with you.

I guess I'll one day get the perfect shot somewhere here in Derbyshire probably somewhere like Curbar Edge a few miles from my home.

Cheating in mind; It'd be earth rise on the moon with one of those Hasselblad's they left behind from Apollo. Already been done though and what times the last bus home anyone?

Polar Bears in the wild, or back to Africa for wild dogs and black rhino for me. I'd settle for a grizzly though .

I have been lucky enough to photograph some wonderful wild animals, and to enjoy time just watching them too, but the above are top of the wild animal wish list.

Plenty of other places and things on that list too but they will all have to wait until I win that lottery...

I'd love to photograph the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza. I'd use a K-5 and a 10-17 fish eye

I am with John on this one. I photograph what is right under my nose, where I live, in my milieu. By doing so I hope to focus the viewer's attention on their place in the environment they create.

Exotic animals I love to see, no doubt. But a photo I take will look just like all the rest and won't say anything about either me or the animal in question.

The list is too great to mention all, and having only one chance only, it would be near impossible to narrow it down. This is a bit like asking what my favourite song of all time is I may be able to get down to a top 25 but after that I would be unable to chop any more out of the list, the same goes for togging. I suppose the ultimate that I can think of, having been put on the spot, would be a 360 degree panorama from the top of Everest (on a clear day of course)
Oh yes equipment ... K-5 as its damn cold up there and a quality wide lens to get as much in as possible (neither of which I own)

The Earth from the Moon, tricky setup though.

A very long tripod perhaps? With reversed centre pole, obviously.

For years now I've had this Image in my head that I would dearly love to take.

There's a shopping center in town, underneath it is a loading bay area, typical grey concrete and strip lights, There are two service lifts there, the ones with the manual concertina doors.

The shot is stark, black and white, looking in the open door of one of the lifts where there's a small girl standing wearing a red coat in pool of pale light, the girl is the only part of the shot in colour.

The Image would be titled Schindlers Lifts...

Please don't turn people's perfectly sensible threads into a battleground. All the posts plus the innocent one that triggered it have been removed.

You guys should know better than this. No names, just keep on topic please.
