It seems a good time to be making new year resolutions - let's see how many actually lasts the whole year! These are do-able, not too strenuous on time commitments... so here goes.
1.Print and Frame up 10 photos.
I cheat. I got 2 photos framed up by someone else (above is one of em), although the framing was very cheap - hanging up in my office in front of me - is quite nice! Photos were meant to be printed and enjoyed, and not just as a desktop wallpaper. IMHO. So I think there is space for 8 more. There's always wall space at home to be invaded too!
2.Intentionally shoot
Go out and shoot something intentionally once a month. More than just family shots, events or church pictures. I will (try) and make time (Saturday morning or an evening) to go out and shoot something.
3.Learn something on Photoshop.
I'm a complete newbie on Photoshop. Ok, I did learn how to post-process star trails, But if I am to develop (*get it?*) I need to keep expanding all parts of my photography journey, and the weakest (well, amongst many other parts) link is my post-processing. I did buy a book last year, which I never quite got started - so I'm calling it - learn something (could be an simple action, but something I didn't know before) once every quarter! That should get me to chapter 4 by end of the year.
4. Attend a photography tour/workshop.
Ideally, twice, but let's start with just 1. I did a Bromo shoot last year, which was really really fantastic - in getting me out of my photography doldrums. It's great to meet other photographers and learn something practical.
5.Travel and shoot
I also tremendously enjoyed shooting in Bhutan (in my getaway with the wifey) last year. Nothing like a new place, culture to pique interest. Love it!
6.Shoot something different.
Last year, I learned shooting stars, dabbled in a bit of Infrared photography, and using fisheye.
I need to keep on trying the IR, learn to see architecture through the fisheye. Maybe I will try Macro photography (not bugs though, maybe seeing common everyday things in a different light) - which means I HAVE to buy a new lens... (hehe).
Do you have any resolutions that hasn't been already broken since 1 Jan?
Happy Shooting everyone!
