So have you shot all the 'essential' subjects?

[Markulous]

come on...how about your 'lone tree' efforts 

Got loads but I like this one for having just that little extra! (Canon G11)

Spider's web no problem. 

[Hinfrance]

I've got a few. Had a few blond moments negotiating the gallery this morning, some of these had already been uploaded before.







Not many out of a long list. Oh well.

Haven't got a single tree one; all the trees around here seem to have friends.

[ABERS]

I'm getting worried now!

Spent most of the morning looking for all the 'essentials' on my hard disc and not one fits the bill! Can't ever remember taking a sunrise or sunset. There are swans by the score at the end of the road on the Thames, plus the odd heron now and again, but never had the urge to snap 'em. I do have a cheeky robin that waits for me to do a bit of digging,must take a camera when next I turn a bit of earth over next time.

Got a high key landscape that may fit the bill however.

H!
Didn't you mean a 'senior' moment? I have natural blond moments (as well as senior ones), but this, from you,  sounds very colourist! Or am I ageist now?

water drops on flowers...and spiders web 



the lone tree...or at least the top of it 




and talking of essential shots...how about the compulsory hdr ... and portraits of people looking miserable 

[ABERS]

I've got a few of those!

[Sarasocke]

I love this thread! I shall go searching tomorrow 

[Reinardina]

I love it too! If only to find out what I haven't done yet!

[greypoint]

there is also the compulsory 'my pet' shot ...preferably from an odd angle

Nooooooooo! Not HDR! We want to retain some semblance of reasonability! 
(miserable people sounds OK - but I only have cheerful ones! )

[greypoint]

Sorry, but pictures of people looking happy do not qualify as great photographic art ... I mean, Martin Parr insists that his subjects do not smile 

[greypoint]

I always thought this one had a certain feel of hdr about it - no idea how that happened...but it was taken with a Canon

Cheerful rather than happy: our 007 moment when we were doing a photoshoot in the dunes and a nosy microlight came to see what we were doing

[Markulous]

Fluffy pet shot (I'm not keen on animals in studios but I wanted to test the lights........ and he was available....... and cheap!)
