Re: Anything but [my bucket list]

This thread has made me think about all the really gritty shitty assignments I’ve ever had. One of my first assignments was to shoot an annual report for a DC hospital. Against my advice they wanted me to shoot their ER on aFriday night. Just use your imagination for what happened. The designer said, “It will be okay - you’re shooting black and white.” Why bother with color when you can make it really bad with b/w?

I could go on, but clearly some of y’all think I’m overly much, so I won’t.

Indeed. I tend not to photograph people, so all the various people genres
are things that I don't really want to shoot. I certainly would not want
to shoot wars or other armed conflicts (actually, they can be a subgenre
of people), and I'm not overly thrilled with heights, either. But really,
I don't think there is anything that I won't photograph. If it interests
me, I will try to photograph it, and try to convey how I felt when I saw
it.

5) I want to shoot UV. Outside of macro, IR is getting a little
yawnish for me.

As far as I know RIT does not offer any online courses - but I left
there a year ago and things could be different. For basic near UV mostly
you just need a filter - something like an 18A equivalent. Visually
opaque. Since most cameras would have low sensitivity to UV you will
probably need large apertures, high sensor speeds and long exposure
times! Tripod and outdoor helps.
