Jan 01: New Year Resolutions

So to the first shot of a brand new year, month and set of words.

I have two resolutions:
A: To walk more
B: To learn how to take my camera off 'Automatic'
C: Is a big, blue wobbly thing

With the help of these two books, I should be OK?

and please remember to tag your shots jan2013
Haha like it.

Your 'B' was one of mine last year - and I'm pleased to say I fulfilled it - it's really about practice but I had a mate spend a couple of hours showing me the basics. Happy to share what I learned, so if I can help, just shout.

Hope you keep your resolutions. I'm not ready for 'B' yet, maybe next year!

my trouble is I don't choose automatic - I try manual, select a setting then find that the camera has changed it when I take the photo. It is only a bridge camera so can't expect too much. Great book there!

Two excellent resolutions (A&B). I don't understand C... I am planning to copy A&B. Happy New Year, Graham.

The C (sea) is a big blue wobbly thing.

Yes, B is definitely one of mine too! My biggest problem is having to wear reading glasses to see what I am doing and I don't generally wear them when out walking Bertie - I've got to train myself to take them with me alongside lead, harness, camera, stick, ball thrower, balls, phone . . .

don't get C?? Manual is just practice and understanding the camera. trial and error. I forgot the challenge so may start from tomorrow. thanks for doing it again, it really helps.
January 1st, 2013  
still don't get C. haha, i just checked the list and maybe my shot for today wil work, http://365project.org/cookie123/365/2013-01-01 what do you think??
January 1st, 2013  
Well good for you...........I always break mine so easier to give up before I start!! defeatist?!! moi ? :)) What are you doing with the sea? swimming the channel?
January 1st, 2013

I don't make new years resolutions as I never seem to keep them - so I am just going to keep on going forward.
January 1st, 2013  
So you dont have many bad habits then if that is your list and cant even think of c)! Lucky you :) Nice ideas backed up beautifully with your lovely glossy brochures! Good luck
January 1st, 2013  
Excellent!! I did not make any, I should though!
January 2nd, 2013  
Excellent goals. And you can do it!
January 2nd, 2013  
Two great resolutions (& one true fact). Best wishes for 2013 :)
January 2nd, 2013  
Cool shot and I like your resolutions.
January 2nd, 2013  
Nice shot. Good resolutions. I make monthly resolutions, which are easier for me to keep than large annual ones.
January 2nd, 2013  
I like your resolutions and I like the C as well! I will have a go at both of those, but I don't call them resolutions!
January 2nd, 2013  
I have worked really hard to try and not shoot automatic. Sometimes when I am taking a group shot and I am worried about making people wait too long I just chane to automatic. Good luck with "a".
January 2nd, 2013  
Fantastic capture of your goals for 2013. I think you will ace them :) Best wishes for 2013 to you and Mrs Bulldog. Thanks for the list, will be having a go at it for sure!!
January 2nd, 2013  
I think that these two books will help you get a long way! And with the dog walkers book, you will get the opportunity to find more places to photograph!

I went to manual in the last year...YAY! You can do it! and I love photographing my Airedales....good luck...
January 2nd, 2013  
Lol... best of luck!!! I'll definitely recommend taking the step of moving off automatic mode... a little frustrating to begin with, but well worth the effort!!!

(I've never watched Black Adder... but my brother has, and he never stops quoting that line!!!)
January 2nd, 2013  
Good luck with your resolutions ...mine is to be healthier & fitter, l will have to switch to swimming as l have fractured a bone in my foot and walking is out for a bit!!
January 4th, 2013  
LOL! You had me at 'C'! ;-D
My resolution is but one: "More of the same! Much more!"
January 4th, 2013  
Think I liked C best...... personally I don't do resolutions... I always break them.... so I have a few plans lined up instead.... lol!! โ™ฅ
