A bit side tract, but still related

Travel more and eat better. And use my cameras to document my trip and my feast.


This has been my goal since 2010, and I can't wait till the time I can take a few months off of my work and go roam the world. My goal is to be a nomad.

And as in watch collecting, I can't buy or collect only a certain range of watches. More variety is more interesting for me. So of course trying out new photographic gears are still a favourite hobby of mine smile

I did a review of my 2014 photos and may share a portion of that later, but thinking about 2015 and what I want to do, accomplish, try, whatever... Here are some of my plans for the New Year (not in any order): -- Continue to use film, both B&W and Co... 

Here is mine

Mine will been simple : - - Continue in digital not move back to film, use what I already have no new gears in plan - - Wish list of exotic places to visit 3-4, so traveling photo - - “perfecting (if any)” my skill in street photographic - - learn to see ... 

Should make for a good year...

As well, I don't plan any new equipment in 2015... Never say never, but no gear planned. I think it's easier to be motivated in new locations, but for me it doesn't have to be completely new... change maybe. I did a Street workshop some years ago, and enj... 

Ones should find

.. to take a decent photo course ... but since i fear i will not find enough time i'll leave it up till another era in my life .... . So my plan for this year would be to find out where's the best place to take that course ... not too far from my home off... 

It must have been 15-20 years ago...

When I got interested in watches and took a correspondence course... it was organized by Walt Odets. I must say it added a lot to my understanding and enjoyment... I could take the practice piece apart and put it back together, and worked on a few watches... 

Thank you Casey ...

.. i will try ... but i fear 2015 will be a hard as the previous 5 or so years ... :-( ... . Though i'm being optimistic about the future but it will take a few years to recover from this difficult period ... . Filip

May be you just

1. Shoot more B&W 2. Buy Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 3. Not to embarrass myself anymore on this forum :) Cheers D

two out of three is not bad...

 
 By: cshimokita : January 5th, 2015-07:17
Yes to B&W... film and/or digital. I was looking through some publicity stills from an opening exhibit of images from the new Rolling Stones' TASCHEN book... big names at the event and some of the event photos were done in B&W with a comment that ...

I will shoot B&W with new lens and not post :) Yours D

"and not post".... good one...

 
 By: cshimokita : January 5th, 2015-14:26

Good topic!

 
 By: Echi : January 5th, 2015-15:06
Made me think and realize I didn't have any plans! Definitely, go out and shoot more. And post more. Work hangs in the balance so a lot of "what if" planning in my head. From a gear perspective, I almost bought the new Dlux. I was going to be customer #1.... 

Marilyn Monroe's 1955 (New Year) Resolutions

Sorry you have to search for the Vanity Fair‎'s article, but they titled the write-up "Marilyn Monroe's 1955 Resolutions Put Your New Year's List to Shame"... I have the feeling that work always hangs in the balance and a good 3rd party activity might be ...

Must admit that it's more challenging to travel recent days, but to see it and/or touch it in person has it's own reward. My dad always said to travel when you're young... I think he meant young at heart ;) I always kept my old Pentax SPF in the glove com... 

Only one thing

To take more pictures and get better at it, especially in dealing with light and reflections, both for landscapes and watches. No new gear, as I think I'm still not utilizing the features of my D-Lux 6 to its full extent.

can't go wrong with taking more pictures...

 
 By: cshimokita : January 6th, 2015-06:16
Getting better is a huge area ;). Marilyn Monroe's 1955 New Year Resolutions (as mentioned in a previous response above) were surprisingly specific... In her case it was getting better at acting by attending, paying attention, and practicing techniques fr...
