I will learn how to use my camera. I make a point of re-reading my manual every so often, and there's usually something I've not seen/used/understood before. 2. I will not use the Auto setting on my camera. I've used Av (aperture priority) pretty much since I got the camera, but I want to venture into M (manual) territory this year. 3. I will not use on-camera flash. I hate using it but just once in a while (like the recent Hak5 meetup), even with my 50mm f/1.4 lens - the alternative was not getting the shot, so I caved. 4. I will not be hindered by the gear I do not have. Even though I have a <a href="http://paulsphotos.org/about/" rel="nofollow">wishlist</a>, I know it's not about the hardware. 5. I will shoot in RAW. Already started on this :) I used to shoot both JPG+RAW but now (since yesterday!) I'm RAW only. 6. I will learn how to process my shots. Another "since yesterday" for me :) 7. I will share my photos with others on the web. I already post my photos on <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/pah57/" rel="nofollow">Flickr</a> but I want to submit them to more Flickr Groups to spread their exposure. 8. I will accept critiques of my work. Not only accept but seek out; yup. 9. I will set goals and be proactive about my photography career. Not sure if "career" is the right word but I definitely want to be more "serious" about my photography including at least one gallery exhibition. 10. I will connect with other photographers. I've been meeting up with the local Flickr group regularly for ~18 months but I've recently created the <a href="http://torontophotowalks.ca/" rel="nofollow">Toronto Photo Walks group</a>. So yeah, that's a pretty good breakdown of my Goal #2 :) Lisa’s “10 New Years Resolutions Every Photographer should make” reads like a breakdown of my photography goal for 2010!

1. I will learn how to use my camera.
I make a point of re-reading my manual every so often, and there’s usually something I’ve not seen/used/understood before.

2. I will not use the Auto setting on my camera.
I’ve used Av (aperture priority) pretty much since I got the camera, but I want to venture into M (manual) territory this year.

3. I will not use on-camera flash.
I hate using it but just once in a while (like the recent Hak5 meetup), even with my 50mm f/1.4 lens – the alternative was not getting the shot, so I caved.

4. I will not be hindered by the gear I do not have.
Even though I have a wishlist, I know it’s not about the hardware.

5. I will shoot in RAW.

6. I will learn how to process my shots.
Another “since yesterday” for me :)

7. I will share my photos with others on the web.
I already post my photos on Flickr but I want to submit them to more Flickr Groups to spread their exposure.

Not only accept but seek out; yup.
