It's 2010.

A new year, a fresh start.

What are your goals for this year as a photographer? What would you like to Be, Do and Have as a photographer by the year's end?

For me, it's to ramp up work in my photography business. I currently do portrait work for money. I think I'd like to transition more into corporate stuff ... in fact just yesterday I did a group portrait for a local health food store. I only started really operating as a business toward the latter part of last year so I can see this going forward profitably. In terms of having, I don't need much but have my eyes firmly on the 35-100f2 lens made by Oly (70-200f2 Equiv) ... it's supposed to be THE IDEAL for a portrait lens blowing away any other lens in the Oly lineup (and possibly others). It's here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/404517-REG/Olympus_261012_35_100mm_f_2_0_ED_Zuiko.html

I'd like to hear from you guys on your plans.

I want to have a good amount of different lenses, filters and other items for my camera. I want to do more portrait photography, maybe some serious paid jobs would be cool. I want to make an album of my best shots in 2010. so by the end of the year I want to hold a thick album with awesome shots in my hands. furthermore I want to keep experimenting with different styles and techniques like for example Night shooting and light graffiti / painting. Will need to buy a set of led´s and flashlights and stuff. Oh and I want to find a muse

That´s about it.

Let's see.
Firstly, I'm looking forward to (hopefully) get my drivers license, so I can drive somewhere else, because - at the moment - I always shoot the same places which gets boring and uniformed.
Secondly, get enough shots to be satisfied with, so I can make my own picture-book to show off to friends and - perhaps even - clients.
Thirdly, take some pictures in foreign countries/cultures. It's quite lucky, as I'm going to London in April and to The States in the summerbreak with my family!
Quarterly, to carry my camera more often, as I (I bet everyone does) hate to miss a perfect shot, because the camera is at home.
Fifthly, when I'm in The States I will probably buy a 50mm (F1.8) objective. Their so darn expensive here in Denmark (Like 2x).

Hope you all had a great evening last night!

Lately ive been very with busy with other things unfortunately (well the other things are great but my photography is suffering). Haven't had much time. Hope to find some good opportunities to get started again.

start shooting in raw.
start using lightroom.
start working on getting a usuable computer.
start working on saving up for a wide angel lens, fisheye lens, flash, lights .

study study.

to buy a camera !

I would like to be an amateur who does photography for fun.

I would like to do: photos of the natures of the world.

And I would like to have a zoom lens in the near future (saving money atm!)

Other than that, I don't really know what else I would like in the photography fun!

Get a new camera ofc...

But either way, I want to find more bugs for fun photo shoots
My kids will help me find more insects and spiders I know it

Hopefully have a DM22 in my hands by the end of the year :/

- 22mp
- 48 x 36 mm sensor
- 12 stop range
- ISO range of 25-400

it.
