Your New Year's Resolution?

New year, new decade. New opportunity to make resolutions I probably won't stick with...but this time it's different (at least I'd like to think so!).

My resolution is to not spend any more than $1000 this year on photography equipment. Last year I went a little overboard buying both Nikon and non Nikon gear (Lumix GX85 with 3 lenses, Canon 6D Mark II, Nikon 55mm 2.8 Micro, etc).

So, I plan to limit my spending budget to $1000 this year. I plan to make the most out of my D750 with my current flock of older Nikon primes; won't spend on what I "need" (a.k.a "want").

What are your photography resolutions for this new year/new decade?

Shut my Canon R off before removing a lens.

I'm not going to spend ANY money on gear this year. We'll see how that goes.

I just want to force myself to go out and shoot more, period.

Sure

I too first thought about "not spending any money on gear this year", but I know it will be impossible for me to keep that resolution. So, I came up with an amount that limits me ($1000). I figure if I have to work with only that amount it will force me to use what I currently own. Also, I figure if I had set my amount a little higher I would end up convincing myself that all I need is "just a little more" for that 24-70mm 2.8, etc.

Shoot more film, and less digital. A secondary, if I may: Since I retired 7 years ago, I want to keep my work-weeks to less than 40 hours this year.

My resolution is to learn post processing. Up to now I've been using Canon's DDP. Over the holiday I bought Affinity Photo and Topaz, both at good discounts. I'll be busy learning these programs.

Definitely need to force myself to get out do more casual, relaxed shooting.

Eat more plant based food, buy more gear and go PRO

We can do this! I failed miserably at it last year, and Fuji will make it tough here in the next few months, but it wouldn’t be fun if there wasn’t a challenge to overcome

Learn to shoot landscapes and environmental portraits. I'm way too stuck in studio photos.

100% on my resolutions this year - "I will not make any resolutions"
