Do You Have a Bucket List Photo?

Do you have a bucket list shot — a photo that you have always wanted to take? This great video follows a photographer as he gets to take a shot on his own personal bucket list. 

Coming to you from Serge Ramelli Photography, this awesome video follows him as he visits his photography bucket list location, the lavender fields in France. These lavender fields are often popular with landscape photographers, as their vivid colors and repeating patterns can be quite entrancing. My personal bucket list location has always been Tumpak Sewu Waterfall (Coban Sewu). It is a tiered waterfall located near the Ampelgading District, Malang Regency, in East Java, Indonesia. While it is particularly beautiful on its own, what makes it truly jaw-dropping is the fact that Semeru, an active volcano (also the highest mountain in Java), sits behind the waterfall, making for such an otherworldly view that it does not even seem real when you look at it. It is neat to watch Ramelli photograph his special location; check out the video above to see the full rundown, and be sure to share your bucket list location in the comments along with the story of photographing it!

I can't share the location because no one has ever seen, much less photographed, it.

You mean you know of a place you'd like to photograph but haven't been there yet or something else?

Sorry it wasn't very clear. I meant, I'd like to be the first person to see an awesome location (good luck with that, right?) and photograph it. Perhaps an undiscovered canyon or tepui or something, known only to God and Google Earth. ;-)

Yes, Raquel West jumping out of her bath but I have it remove of my bucket list some years ago...

Many but #1 is to get to Churchill and photograph the polar bears.

I absolutely do.. I've been chasing it for about 8-10 years now..always hearing about it after the fact.

There are a lot of places I would just love to put on my bucket list, however they are not quite worth risking the kick of the bucket for.

I had one photo on my list for years before I finally got it. Just a few miles from my house. I wrote a blog post about it which some might find inspirational, pathetic, or possibly resonant.

lol Funny story. I think we've all had that interesting-only-to-us photo that we've been semi-obsessed to take!

The Northern Lights are on my bucket list :)

It's been forever since I've been in Italy. I want to go again.
