Your books will always be a good reference, pictures and text.

I love this list, thank you for taking the time. Part of the beauty of photography for me, (I have been a professional most of my life) are the multiple opportunities to avoid stagnation, whether it is equipment or software oriented or, more importantly how we creatively stretch ourselves to think out of the box and create images that no one else might have taken. The creative stretch it takes to create the extraordinary out of the ordinary!
I do, and I'm sure most everyone has a few mental items of "I should remember to ...". The idea of this list is just a gentle reminder to consider actually doing one of those mental plans specific to photography ...

Without goals, there is no improvement. Excellent topic. Evaluations and improvement are better done if in a small group going our weekly to achieve or maintain one or more goals.

I'm pretty much with Bob but I never use flash or a tripod, I'm an available light hand held guy. S'why I went to 35mm in the first place. I've been photographing since the '50s so most of my "investigating" is long behind me. Oh, I try to shoot at 200, no high ISO for me. Ttried it, didn't like it.
Started with a Voightlander from the PX in Kores, moved to Nikon (film), now a Canon 5Dc. I print 8x10 so 12mp is enough. Anyway, for me, taking is the hook, not viewing. I do as little post as possible. Harry

I seldom participate, read this site for amusement. Harry

A very interesting post. I seem to be a perpetual learner. Although I have been taking photos for many years, I spend hours watching educational videos and reading about photography. I can answer “yes” to many of the questions posed, but I confess I don’t shoot enough and I frequently make stupid mistakes when I do shoot.
I recently joined a camera club which takes field trips regularly, to encourage me to spend more time in the field. Practice, practice, practice — my new resolution.

Don't worry about stupid mistakes, they are just learning experiences. I've been doing photography for over 40 years and still do something really nuts. A week ago I sat up two tripods to photograph fireworks. One camera I operated with a remote control. The other camera was set up with a Pluto Trigger which was set to fire the camera when it saw a flash of light. My shots with the remote control camera came out great. The Pluto Trigger showed on my phone (where the app is located) firing 228 times. Photos from that camera -- zero. I forgot to turn the camera on! Oh well, it was my first try with this device so now I know to check one more thing when I think it is ready to take photos.
