- Canon EF 500 f/4L IS (maybe if I pawn a kidney, but still wishful thinking )
- Lenscoat for the above mentioned lens
- a plethoral of Singh Ray filters
- Adobe CS4
- new CF card reader
- a job that lets me take more time for photography
I would like a way of wirelessly controlling a camera remotely via an iPhone, with live view. Unfortunately, I don't think this exists. Right now I think it can only be done with a PC (not a Mac) and wireless USB devices.
Things that do exist: I'd like another underwater housing and strobe, I'd like a kite and a new compact camera for KAPing, and I'd like a 10m carbon-fiber carp fishing pole for PAP (pole aerial photography).

You and I have similar "wishes."
Inexpensive and reliable (for pro gig) aerial (low altitude) gear is something I have wanted for years (about 8 now).
If you have links to anything related to this, please send me a link via PM.
One of the things I like about the Canon 500D is that it is small and lightweight and I am hoping to use it in the future for some "remote" shooting while suspended from a balloon, kite, or pole. Though at this point I have not researched the current state of the art for remote viewing and triggering, it is an area I am curious to explore.
Some time ago I saw a cam put on a RC helicopter and it got me thinking again about the possibilities (and fun) for unusual POV work.
1. Canon 7D (from my current 30D)
2. 10-22mm lens- its hard to capture all the grandeur of places like Zion NP without an Ultra Wide, although my plastic fantastic did a good job.
3. A lightweight tripod because carrying a full size Bogan/Manfrotto with ball head up a mountain is just too exhausting.
4. Radio Poppers because my current "ebay remote" doesn't do HSS!
New Knees
More coffee
A back that don't hurt when I stand up
Better hearing
More coffee
At least as much hair as Steady
More coffee
And a 5D MarkII would be nice
I think I may get the Coffee
How about:
Canon 500mm f/4 IS AF
A Netbook for travel to download images too.
GPS software for the Netbook and a GPS reciever.
A gimbal tripod mount
Noise reduction software
A good tutorial for PS4
Less time PP and more time in the out in the field
A perfect photo of the Doctor Bird from Jamaica
There could be more wishes, I have been looking in the "I Want Book".
This is fun. So pretty much listing solely all of my material desires, here's the list. In no particular order.
1) Nikon D3s
2) Nikon 24-70 f2.8
3) Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR
4) Nikon 60mm f2.8 Macro
I really just want to have a high quality professional DSLR system and be done with it. And this is all I will ever really need in the department. I only use a DSLR for studio stuff, sports, and lazy days.
5) Leica 35mm f1.4 Summilux ASPH
6) Leica 24mm f1.4 Summilux ASPH
7) Leica 28mm f2 Summicron ASPH
8) Voigtlander 50mm f2.5 Color Skopar
9) Voigtlander 50mm f1.1 Nokton
I have a Leica M8 with an M9 on order. And just want some great lenses to use. My M8 does 97% of the work I do.
10) Mac Pro 3.33GHz Quad Core w/ ATI 4870
11) Apple 30" Cinema HD Display
12) Hewlett Packard tx2-1370us
I want a faster and more easily upgradeable computer than the iMac I have now. It runs fine. but being able to easily add loads of Hard Drives internally would make life simpler. And a huge LCD would be lovely. The Windows laptop would be great for travel and playing games on the couch/ watching DVD's in bed.
13) Vespa GTS 300 Super in White
I have my motorcycle license. And a scooter would make getting to assignments super easy. Especially when it comes to parking.
14) Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II
I'd like to be able to make larger prints than 8.5x11. And even start framing them rather than keeping them in albums.
15) Sony 52" Bravia Z LCD Television
I just want a big TV. What guy doesn't.
16) 2010 Dodge Caliber SXT in Orange
My car is six years old now and has reached the point where I'm making a major repair every year. It's also kind of ugly looking now. And the drivers window is busted from being broken into.
17) Piper Warrior III
I had my private pilot certificate once. it expired two years ago and would like to get it renewed. And once I do that I'd love to have my own private plane. Not even anything fancy. just something to get me from place to place on a whim.
That's pretty much all I want/would get even if I won the lottery. Hopefully Santa is reading.
- 2 Sony SnapLabs for onsite printing (just ordered)
- 2 new batteries for my D300/D700 (just ordered)
