6/52

6/52, originally uploaded by norbography.

Week 6 of the 52 week project, and I had left it til the last day to get a photo sorted. It has been a long day, and I was drawing a blank as far as ideas go. I have a few in the idea bank, but they all require props. So while I was sitting there drawing a blank on a photo, and blog posts, it came to me. A photo of me drawing a blank.

I even hooked up the off flash gear and go myself into norbist mode.

norbist setup: Camera with 12-24mm lens sitting on lap. Flash sitting precariously on top of a tissue box on top of the printer. Snooted through the 80-200f/2.8L lens. Black beanie behind it all trying to soak up reflected light. That nearly worked too.

12 Things to Photograph Before You Die

Having never put any thought into this topic, I was surprised to find that I could make a list with about 50 places, objects and people I want to photograph at some point.

Of that list, I have no ambition to photographs wilder-beasts, but would love to get a shot of a leopard in full flight in the wild. Replace the Northern lights with the Southern lights (“Aurora Australis” ). It is an interesting list, that’s for sure.

The perfect portrait?

Oh no, my perfect face!
