New Year's Resolution

Fog at Kymijoki III / Nebel über dem Kymijoki, originally uploaded by Tilman..

I was not thinking I would do that, but with my photo mojo gone at the moment, maybe, more hopefully, this will be a way of getting myself focused and motivated during 2008. So here my resolutions for 2008:

1. Have my camera more often with me
I have to try to find a way of taking my camera with me wherever I go as much as I can.
2. Learn to use my equipment better
This is not only my cameras and lenses, but as well my flash.
3. Have a more effective work flow
Improve my usage of Lightroom and Photoshop.
4. Be more creative and learn to see
Trying new things and not only focusing on nature and landscape. I have to see if I have a chance to do some sports photography again and I would like to do some portrait and product photography.
5. Take some courses
I was thinking about taking at least one course just for the experience and fun and maybe even join a GAF (group of auto didactic photographers) group in the autumn.
6. Participate in some competitions
For the experience, fun and of course the challenge!
7. Have at least one photo trip somewhere abroad (outside of Switzerland and excl. Finland)
I'd like to go somewhere, where I have not been before and try to capture it, maybe combine it with taking a course.
8. Take my photo "business" to the next level
I already have registered a new domain name (still keep it a secret). I still have to register it with the commercial register and do all the administrative work and then will take it from there...
9. Blog more!
Yes, I really try to blog more and if I don't have a picture of myself to present, I hope I can show some from my contacts at Flickr.
10. Enjoy photography
Just appreciate the motivational side of photography, take pictures, get inspired by seeing pictures taken by others and enjoy 2008 from a photographic perspective!
