Spend less time on forums and keep my BLOG uptodate
make sure I have enough money in the piggy bank, in case the D800 comes out in 2012
and no more weddings, unless its minePosted 1 year ago # -
To always have a camera with me. I'm notorious for leaving it at home unless I know I'm going to need it.

More time shooting, less time reading websites.

Spend less time reading about photography and much more time actually taking pictures. Continue to dream about objects of desire and maybe even get some new toys.

1/ Stop wondering if I should get full frame. My D7K has been flawless so I should stop 2nd guessing myself.
2/ Improve my strobists skills.
3/ Improve the creativity of my compositions.

To somehow find a way to justify getting a D4 although I simply don't need one and cannot afford one.

Learn Photoshop. For the 2nd straight year. :D

Some good ones on here so far. Sevencrossing your right its nice to stop shooting weddings for your own sanity. This is year I would like to take at least an image per day so like PBPM and others said shoot more. And again like Sevencrossing, make sure I have funds in reserve for the D800. 2012 is going to be a great year! :)

Trip to Yellowstone NP for everything really but for the wolves and Bison rut.
Trip to Rocky Mountain NP for the Elk bugling season.
Trip to Bandolier NWR for the Sandhill Crane migration.
Finally purchase the 500mm bazooka lens.
Get right with my strobist skills.
I am sure there is more but this is a start.
Happy New Year, all !!

1) Shoot more to improve my photography
2) Find other photographers of my age who enjoy taking pictures just like me
3) Read less useless stuff such as camera/lens reviews :D
4) Stop thinking I need new lenses and improve my techniques with the 18-105mm kit lens (it's good enough)Posted 1 year ago # -
finally get one of the lenses below:
- N200/2
- N200-400/4
- N400/2.8
- N600/4
or at least: N14-24/2.8 :)Posted 1 year ago # -

My resolution, take less pictures....my home server cant take the amount of photos I snap everyday. I bought an F100 and some B&W film to help only shoot what I intend on keeping.

@adamz - you'll do great work with any of those lenses, I look forward to seeing what happens.
Mine:
Get something published, somewhere.
Be more disciplined while shooting (fewer 'I wish I had' moments when reviewing images)
Read more, watch more, learn more - I'm still an amateur with no classical training or industry exposure - I have a lot to learn from the pros.
That being said - teach more. I'm always meeting people who are eager to learn what I know. Time to start paying it forward in 2012.
Gear - One more 900/910, PocketWizards, proper muslin and paper backdrops for my 'studio' (living room) set up, and that's it. It's going to be a boring year for new toys.

Convince Nikon to produce a V2 and enough new lenses to go with it … :)
Failing that, find enough money to get a D400 or whatever will replace the D300…

Sadly, not much different from last year:
1) THINK more before pressing the button; check the details.
2) (To help with no. 1 above) Use my tripod more often.

New Years Resolution..... first, does Bland mean senior pictures as in high school shots or of old folks like me? Ha, Ha, ha. Actually my best wish is to continue to find the interesting places and most important the people to photograph. I love to take photos of the folks who make life so interesting.

Too much drama for me in shooting that venue, I'd rather shoot convict's mug shots then go through that again. LOL

(1)Get one of the "new" Fx bodies (or a D3s)
(2)Build my business
(3) make more images and take less
(4) another D7000 (man I love that camera!)
(5) 24-70mm would be nice (my 28-70mm really needs to be adjusted)

To spend less time lusting over the next lens/body/flash/tripod/filter, etc. I'm going to buy and more time trying to figure out ways to get the most out of the stuff I have.

This is a hard question for me, because there are so many Nikon resolutions ;-)
Bottom line is two things:
1. Need to upgrade my backup dSLR body, which is a D3000. I might buy another D7000 but then again, after the next couple of months worth of announcements, who knows?
2. I need to capitalize on the 'not through my employer' photographic contacts more. I have a couple of business possibilities in mind and if only one comes through, I'll be a very happy bunny indeed. Looks like I'll have to put more into the business side of this game - which is the side I fear the most. At least I control 'some' of what happens from behind the lens....

I'm adding to my earlier resolution post. If I knew what I knew now, when I bought my D5100, I would have bought the D7000. So, since the D7000 will be fully 2 years old in October 2012, I'm hoping it's replacement will be out this year. Thus my goal in addition to shooting more and reading less, is to upgrade to the D7000 replacement.
Dear Santa.....I already know what I want for Christmas this year!

For me, it is to spend less time reading (I spent way too much time reading blogs and such last year), and more time working on my post-processing to get rid of my back log. I still have pictures from winter 2010 that I haven't even looked at, let along processed.
