2009 a prospective (anti-retrospective?)
whatever it is you wish to call it, here it is

Resolutions? No. More like goals.

1, Keep working with seeing natural light more.

2. Stop buying flashes. 26 is enough.

3. Get that cat book to market, sell millions of copies, retire.

4. Backgrounds. Check them before you shoot.


that's about it for me.

1. for me...
it is simply get the camera out more.


The past year has had a dearth of actual photography on my part and for that I hang my head in shame. :blush:

2. Here are a few of mine.
1) Practice visualization more trying to picture what I want before I shoot it.
2) Try to study my subject more, its habits, routines, etc... ( I shoot mostly wildlife although if some nice pretty models I'd do the same. ;) )
3) Check those dern settings before I take a pic!!!!
4) Learn how to use my flash better and related to this is simply to understand exposure better.
5) Have a better eye for things (framing the shot).
6) Try to expand to different wildlife and learn how to take good landscapes images.

3. Here is my list
1. Bring the camera with me as much as possible.

2. Learn more about flash photography.

3. Maintain my budding beginners photoblog at least bi-daily. (First decide whether I should stick to Danish or switch to English :) ) (www.dabomb.dk)

4. Write about the stuff you don't know about on said blog to force yourself to learn it.

5. Be better and more consistent in post processing. Establish a flow.

Thats the top 5 for me I guess.
