Too much to list to be honest but mainly

Get better at photography
Buy another lens (17-40 f/4 L USM £££££)
Do some landscapes when I get my Manfrotto tripod and head
 
Get down and dirty with some woodland macro also ive managed to clear the spare room out and am converting it into a digital darkroom.

:thumbs:........I may have a week in early January up there.
 
Sedlac Ossuary just outside Prague with my Leica M6 and a load of B&W film.
 
Start photography !!!
I'm getting a Sony A200 for Xmas - can't wait.
I've definitely been inspired by all your pics, tips and constructive criticisms.
And i've spent hours trawling through the gallery. I'm really looking forward to attempting some of the things i've seen on there.
 
Try my very best to take at least 1 decent photograph:bang:
 
To improve on this years efforts :)
 
Consistency. Try and post all through the year - hoping the blog will help.

1 shot I am really truly proud of.
 
to take loads more pics (and hopefully get a few decent ones) also, maybe start blogging to kick myself into gear a bit!

buy a few lenses, and get out more, maybe also a trip (possibly overnight) to skomer, although i can see it from my house!!

(also, learn to type, its taken me 5 mins to type this properly, when it'd usually take me literally 2)
 
Make the effort to learn more, get up earlier and devote more time. Got rid of Sky, fed up with football and have more time as a result.
 
get up to scotland .. never been and would love to...


hmmm im thinking about a week up there next year..

would love to try mull also.


but main aim will be to get better at portraits :thumbs:


md:thumbs:
 
Mull and the Eagles for me...
Puffins....
More Landscapes.....
Better Tiger Pics......
Mull......
Buy more Gear (spent to much this year though)
More Kingfisher.......
Did I mention Mull......

:D:D:D

Oh.... And go to Mull.
 
Get back to scotland again before the snow goes.

get out to take photos more often.

Get my film shots as good as my digital.
 
Well i'm going to the WHF on the 4th Jan, probably want to go back again.
I'd love to go to Skye again (the weather wasn't great when I went), but we will see...
 
Get a wide angle for landscapes.. take some better landscapes. Scotland or Lakes for some snowy mountain shots and as Foggy says get some consistency and more keepers.
Also finish (and hopefully pass) my NCFE Level 1 in photography course.

Andy

Oh and cure the world of poverty, war and famine.
 
Get more than a couple of comments on my submissions.
Oh, and take many more photos and get better at bird pics.
 
Get out more and take more nature and landscape shots.
A new lens or two.
Do a course.
Sell more of my images. Have managed to sell 7 cards so far but hoping to do a lot better next year. Well I can dream can't I ;)
Generally improve and become a better photographer.
 
- Take my van on a week long photo trip, on my lonesome.

- Hopefully take a driving tour through Europe with my Wife, lots of photos too (poor Claire)

- Most importantly: Get better, develop my eye, and aim for consistency...

- Attempt to stop being such a gear junkie

- Buy a few more pieces of fast glass...

- I would LOVE a Blad M/F Digital :D They are around £10K now for the 30MP...it won't be too long before the others follow suit....not that I would be able to use it...
 
1. Process 5 years worth of slide film into digital format! I've the most redic backlog!

In fact if I get that done and get a few more nice shots on the way i'll be happy!
 
Good question!

I guess I should prepare just in case I'm asked to travel outside of Finland, Im upgrading my old computertater with a laptop plus a external display and maybe, just maybe if my kidney fecthes some decent cash on fleabay then I'll be looking to buy a used 300mm f/2.8.

Other than that, fingers crossed I'll be working with a Fly Fishing gear company on a product catalogue for 2010, hopefully some more weddings in the summer but I would really like to get some advertisiment or commerical portrait shoots, oh and bands too, I'd love to shoot some bands this year.

Let's see.

Hey Tom in Nokialand, keep yer kid, get a Tamron Adaptall and manual focus!

For me, when I've traipsed the streets flogging off the remaining copies of the <sob> male nudie charity calendar, it'll be about time for the ladies ;)

(Love the way EdGaz in #34 acknowledges the gear junkie aspect and then goes on to feed it.)

:lol: I'm **** scared of manual though, I'm a child of the digital age that relies heavily on AF! :lol:

To be fair, there's a nice chap about an hours train journey from me who will hire me a 300mm manual focus, I may try that, just to see if there's a sniff that I might not be attrocious.
 
Practice, Practice, Practice!!

Finish my current photography course and then do a course on Darkroom Developing.

Set-up my own darkroom.

Maybe, upgrade from my 350D to a 40D, or, upgrade my EOS 500N to an EOS3

Determine what i want my next project will be and get on with it!

Become a better photographer and some trips to Skye and Mull, both of which seem to be popular destination on here.

Need to work on my landscape skills and post processing
