Yes
It's coming up to that time of year when we all start making promises that we end up breaking.

Post them here and we will be your conscious.

Here we go ... I will start.

  • To start my wedding photography business
  • Give up smoking
  • Get fit
  • Change jobs

Quite a lot to do but if I can manage three of them I will be happy
 
Find a job plus all the usual ones:

Stop smoking
Lose weight
Get fit

:D :D :D
 
I find the more specific you are the better!

- lose two dress sizes by April
-work out for 30 minutes 4x a week
-learn how to set up lighting for studio work (think Rob will be helping with that one in February)
-earn enough money with equine photography to afford 70-200 f2.8

Think that will be it for now.
 
:thinking: lose 2 and a half stone
save some money
spend more time with the kids and wife
learn more about the camara
get better bird shots.




:naughty: well ill try anyway
 
Get out more ... :p

ME that is ... :D

Cos it will ensure I do the other stuff I have had precious little time to do this past year ... :thinking:

... Spend more quality time with my wife, Jill ... :love:

... Dump some of the excess from not doing so for almost a year ... :shrug:

... And use the expensive gear I bought to help me do all of the above ... amongst other things ... like taking photographs ... :eek:



Best of luck in yours ... I know I will not be as diligent as I should with most of mine ... :naughty:



:p
 
Same as ever year:

* Lose weight
* Get fit

and one extra....

* Master my camera (well make a start, anyway!!!!!!)

Oh and one more:

* Sell one of my images somehow or someway!!!!
 
To take my camera with we where ever I go so that I don't miss the opportunity to get the shot I would otherwise miss.
lost count how many times in 2006 I said "if only I had my camera with me" :bonk:
 
For all those who wanted to quit smoking, a little tip.

I tried everything to quit, except for hypnotherapy or Zyban...Nothing I tried worked. Until I happened upon this book. It's a godsend

Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking
 
:agree:

Worked for me too. That was 10 years ago and I've never lit one since, and more importantly - never WANTED to :clap:
 
I mentioned my main resolution in another thread ...

  • Must stop fixating on camera equipment (especially lenses - I have changed them so often I was thinking of changing my Forum Name to "Specsavers")
  • Get out more with camera
  • Lose a stone
  • Stop taking tablets for back pain (had surgery in May!)

Ironically he died of Lung cancer.

Anyway...."Quiting is for losers!"
 
Quit smoking. Alan Carr didn't work for me, apart from being an incredibly boring read. I think you need to be self-motivated and really want to do it. I packed in for a year once and found it remarkably easy tbh, then started having the odd 'social' fag, which of course bolloxed me up completely. :D
 
To improve the quality of my photo's (that should hopefully be a lot easier next year with all the hints and tips I have learnt from here)

To learn photoshop so that my post processing is more than just adjusting the brightness!

To spend more time with family and friends rather than at work!
 
I hear the exchange rate is good. Send me 50 dollars and thats a few pounds gone :D
 
1. Stop drinking.
2. Finish my game (and sell it).
3. Move house.
 
1. loose some weight.

2. Get one picture published.

Hopefully loose the pounds finding the picture!
 
To get fit

Lose weight....and lots of it :confused:
Set up my photoblog, and post one photo per day to it.
Learn to be more confident, especially when taking photos.
Procrastinate less, and be a better timekeeper ;)
 
Mine is to learn to cook
To learn more about photography and to hopefully take some good photos




:canon:
 
For me it has to be, spend a little more time with the family! I saw my sister like twice last year! So thats one.....

Secondly,
Take my photography another step further (its been an amazing year for me) lets hope 2007 will be even more amazinger, if thats such a word, if not then its appropriate! :)

Ed :)

Be better if I do it Ian, I'm already a well known dirty old man! :naughty:
 
My list is sooo long

#1 Gain weight
#2 Start smoking
#3 See less of my loved ones
#4 Stop selling photographs
#5 ignore photo opportunities
and finallly

#6 stop telling so many porkies! :D


Actually my list is simple and if I can stick to it all will be well; Be less selfish, agree more, look after myself but not worry about a few pounds, let my kids tell ME what I am doing wrong, oh and along the way ....keep taking photos!

No doubt by December 31st I will have a more refined version but that will do for starters.:)
