RFF New Year's Resolutions

[Toby]

I know it isn't even Christmas yet but I've already started thinking about my photographic new years resolution. At this time of year we should all look forward and what better way than posting a resolution that will make RFF an even better place to visit in the coming year.

My personal resolution is to upload more photos to the gallery and to encourage others by commenting constructively on their work. I also want to get my photography back to a level I can really proud of - I know I have it in me and I don't want cheat myself by never fulfilling my potential.

So please give some thought to your photography in 2006 and post your resolution here

I just want to complete my "class" at the NYIP. During the last 12 months I was really a bit lazy and did not do much regarding this goal 🙁 This should be enough because I have some projects to complete for that.
Perhaps this helps me to work a tad more purposive and improve my skills.

Cheers

For me it will be simple 2 resolutions:
1 - Buy less gear;
2 - Shoot more with the gear i own.

I want to shoot more with MF film, aka my Hasselblad. (No I am not putting the rf stuff away.)

I'd like to do this as well but I also like Pedro's resolutions 🙂

I personally would like to stick to a regular PAW - I always seem to "start" one but never "finish" one throughout the year.

This coming year must be different.

My resolution is to take the photos I like all the way to final form. That is, matted, framed, signed. I have too many photos that sit in storage that are printed but not spotted, or not matted, etc etc. Enjoying the process is wonderful, but sometimes I feel I don't have a whole lot to show for it.

Oh.. and Ralph... you think you would be interested in a 40mm for your blad? 🙂

I'll go along with Pedro.

I've decided, come the new year, to limit the gear and materials I use. So for the first three months at least, I'll be shooting:

M6TTL
50 f2
Ilford Delta 400 (but anywhere between 200 and 1600)

and printing on Ilford MGIV only.

Of course, I've never kept a new year's resolution yet 🙂

Wish me luck.

My resolutions are:
1. Take more photos
2. Take more photos
3. Give B & W developing a shot, even if it's only developing negs.

I'm not much for resolutions really. The few thing I've promised myself are to get a 15mm for the R-D1 (and only that!), to finish at least 2 of the book projects I'm working on, and to work harder and more focused on the 3rd project, which would involve at least another 2 trips to Mongolia, a first year course in anthropology Ifinishing that degree would then become resolutions for 2007-2009) and developing my writing skills.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for those writing skills? 😛

 

[pedro.m.reis]

Just lerned another acronim.. PAW - Picture A Week.
🙂

4. get in shape

Hey, this is not RFF related ... or is ? 🙂)

 

[darkkavenger]

my resolutions: earn more money and be a gear whore as usual, but aiming at more expensive toys 😉

 

[GeneW]

Resolutions for current gear:

1. More 'Blad
2. More Rollei
3. Lotsa Leica
4. Plenty Nikon

Other resolutions:

1. Start a PAW
2. TUMS for GAS (Terminally Urgent Money Shortage...)

[DougK]

Hmmm... let's see...

1. Shoot more B&W
2. Sell or trade off the gear I'm not using; ideally I'd like to get my inventory down to my Bessa, my digital, my TLRs, and maybe a MF SLR
3. Lose weight 😀

 

[jorisbens]

I know three resolutions for me for 2006:

1.Shoot more
2.develop and print more
3.post more on RFF

So it seems that I need to do more, maybe that's why people say I'm lazy 🙂

 

[Sonnar Brian]

1) Use my Digital SLR Cameras to their Fullest and Most Useful Capability.
2) Determine the focal length variation in Jupiter-3 lenses.

Perhaps this helps me to work a tad more purposive and improve my skills.

For all those who guess what this nonsense means: The number plates are meant.
