What would you photograph if there were no limits or fears in doing so?

[Trevor Ash]

I'd photograph people. I'm not sure if Willem is still around but I'd love to know what goes on in his mind when he photographs those people.

[Todd Patten]

The moon. Mars. Saturn.

Oh. Dinosaurs would be cool too.

Finally, lotso naked women. The consequenses would be much too severe in my "real" world

[ACArmstrong]

Shania Twain - through her bedroom window. [insert evil grin icon here]

I keed - I keed - ... I'll have to think on this one and get back to you.

[opus]

I would take pictures of people, people doing everything. I would just float around the streets and shoot tons and tons of pictures of people doing what they do. I'd also take lots of pictures of children playing. Their expressions are so immediate! They're so focused on what they're doing, and they don't get distracted by the camera.

I would also stop right in the middle of the highway and get out of the car right then and there and shoot what grabs my attention: sunsets, rivers, people, buildings, accidents, horses, cows, hay bales, fog ...

And if there were NO limits? I'd fly, and shoot from angles that are impossible on foot.

[walterick]

But I love the idea.

I'd take Faith Hill, Sarah Evans and Shania Twain nude in a corn filed any day!

Yee-haw!

I've shot the moon. And Mars. Missed Saturn this year, going to try next year. Dinosaurs would be cool, but I believe the intent was the here and now.

"Lots of naked women."

You, me, and about a million other guys!!!

"The consequenses would be much too severe in my "real" world "

You said it! That, and I'm a happily married man. Besides, shooting glamour is the highest art form of photography IMHO. It's also the most difficult IMHO. You've got to know lighting, posing, and you've got to the have the proper setting. Most indoor places I've tried have poor and/or busy backgrounds, are too cramped (read, not enough working space), and have poor lighting. Guys like Asylum Steve and Charles Hess make it look easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Of course, I'm always willing to give it the old college try. ;-)

IF there were no limits...(Disclaimer: This is not me natatbeach speaking it's some other chick) but if there were no limits...and I ...I mean that other girl could do anything she wanted...artistic nudes. abstracts and body studies.

Playing with lots of light ...preferably women and maybe some men or both...but ,ostly women. I would also love to bring back that old 30's and 40's pinup girl look

now darn it! if I wasn't so shy about lookin at nekid( I mean nude) people ...

plus my hubby says he wouldn't care but really who are we kidding...he'd care.

maybe some day...

[RedWingsSuck]

I'd shoot animals or enviroments that I don't shoot now because of the danger. Bears, cougars, extreme winters/elevations, ect.

[opus]

Oh yeah, I'd be a tornado chaser and I'd try to get as close as I could. That is, if there was no fear.

Man, I should really go on a chase some day....



I'd also do a lot of underwater photography. Right now I have fears of ruining my camera, fears of sharks, fears of my air tank running dry or my air line getting a kink in it ...

A waterspout was spotted in Carteret County today, and yours truly went to see if I could spot it and photograph it! I had the location and the direction it was moving in, but I didn't find it. I think it dissipated before I got there. I've been wanting to photograph a tornado or water spout (a tornado over water) for some time now. One day...

Also, scuba diving is very safe. I've taken some underwater shots before, but it was with a rental camera from the dive shop. I've love to add a Nikonos V to my camera collection, and do some serious underwater photography. :-)

Come on down! I've got an upstairs bedroom that is 22 feet long, so with a little moving of furniture, we'll have plenty of room. '40's style pinups - you got it. Body studies - sure, why not. And tell Larry he can be my assistant: help with posing, hold my reflector (a small white sheet), etc. Best of all, it won't be Nat, it'll be that "other chick", so it'll be a cheap thrill for him. Leather, lace, silk, whatever, I'm game.

And I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind at all! :-O

[natatbeach]

Hey I was all excited------ till I realized it wasn't Dawn you were talking about...oh well--- maybe next time...

sorry not into lace and stuff...only skin...artistically speaking of course....

"artistically speaking of course...."

Of course I understand!

Don't know if I could talk the lovely wife into letting you watch a lingerie shoot. She's posed a few times for me. The first shots were pretty lousy overall. The second set of shots were much better. I'm getting better at it, but I've got a long way to go to get to where Steve and Charles are. Of course, I'll gladly trade photo's for posing if any models want to help me in my artistic endevours. ;-)

[mtbbrian]

Funny!

[Old Timer]

For me the answer would be all the big sporting events, Super Bowl ect. The next thing would be to travel to the exotic lands and photograph the locals everyday life. But the real (NO FEAR) experience would be to shot conflict and war as it unfolds. I still have an old Larry Burrows book from the Vietnam war that has some of the most amazing photographs I have ever seen.

[paulnj]

I am with you gene ..... first stop....HAWAII ;)

But while there I would also photograph the evil side of MAN

IE...murder, war, medical mishaps, those who were robbed by enron executives, poverty, congress sleeping , civil unrest, poachers, dirt ball kid touchers meeting BUBBA

I am not joking one bit either!

[adina]

I think I'd like to photograph a birth. Right now I would have the fear of passing out (which I tend to do).

Seems kind of boring, but that's what I'd do.

Sign me up for the nekkid ladies too....

adina

birth is definitely cool...but I wondered...are you signing up to be the nekkid lady or to photograph them...

[Sebastian]

War. Apparently that is too short, the system needs at least ten characters. Well, war.

[paulnj]

Seb,

my reply was G rated honestly......

I have very little fear, and an iron stomach!

getting to the area is what holds me back , so find us a sponsor and we are off

actually, start in the depths of CHI town's gangland battles. I know they still fight over COLORS there(as with any city)


and WE KNOW you want to find a few NEKKID GIRLS like ADINA

[paulnj]

Don't be scared of passing out, I am harmless

have camera / will travel, can you hold up your end of the bargain?

I'd like to SHOOT the nekkid girls!

Although I was thinking I'd get nekkid pics done when I turn 30. A friend of mine did skydiving, I'm thinking pics.....kind of a welcome to 30 thing.

Are you saying that you want pics taken of you skydiving naked, er I mean nekkid, when you turn 30?

BTW, I'm still on my first cup 'o coffee... ;)

I'm going to pass on the skydiving. Something about jumping out of a perfectly good plane....really doesn't do anything for me. So my pics will be on the ground.
