We asked earlier in December how (if) UHH has changed your photography. Now an annual reminder about goals (resolutions). Did you make and accomplish any for 2021? Should you make any for 2022?

Current Equipment

Are you learning to better use your current equipment?
Are you learning your processing software?
Are you organizing your legacy images?
Did you sell your unused and outdated equipment?
Are you using your tripod?
Are you organizing your new images?
Are you using your external (speedlite) flash?
Did you consolidate miscellaneous HDs into a single larger drive?
Did you implement and follow a back-up strategy for your image files, software install files, and passwords / credentials?
Did you investigate insurance / replacement costs of your equipment?
Did you download the PDF copy of your camera model?

Technique

Are you using Back Button Focus?
Are you using selective focus with an off-center AF point placed specifically on the subject?
Did you watch any utube training for your software?
Did you return to a prior subject with a new lens or technical approach to specifically improve on a prior attempt?

UHH Participation

Did you ask for help?
Did you answer a request for help?
Did you share any images?
Did you comment on any images?

Life

Did you make a photography-based trip?
Did the pandemic increase or decrease your overall photography effort?
Did you shoot any film?
Did you display your images on a digital frame or TV?
Did you print any images?
Did you sell any images?
Did you enter a photography competition?
Did you change to mirrorless?

Every journey, even one that takes years to complete, begins with the first step. Don't let a knowledge of the length, or just a fear of not reaching the end, stop you from ever even starting.

Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!

The K.I.S.S. principal.... Keep it simple stupid. Stay off the gas pedal and use what you have and improve your skills and techniques.

Current Equipment

Are you learning to better use your current equipment? No. There is no need.
Are you learning your processing software? Yes
Are you organizing your legacy images? No
Did you sell your unused and outdated equipment? No
Are you using your tripod? Yes
Are you organizing your new images? No
Are you using your external (speedlite) flash? Yes
Did you consolidate miscellaneous HDs into a single larger drive? Yes
Did you implement and follow a back-up strategy for your image files, software install files, and passwords / credentials? Yes
Did you investigate insurance / replacement costs of your equipment? No
Did you download the PDF copy of your camera model? Yes

Technique

Are you using Back Button Focus? No
Are you using selective focus with an off-center AF point placed specifically on the subject? No. In that case manual focus. It's too much work to select focus point.
Did you watch any utube training for your software? Yes
Did you return to a prior subject with a new lens or technical approach to specifically improve on a prior attempt? No

Geez! This sounds like an end of year personnel performance planning meeting! I left those behind 20 years ago!

If you're not improving, you're falling behind.

I didn't ask about any 'stretch' goals though ...

And yet again there is always a dissenter.

I know, tough job but somebody has to do it.

Not dissenting, was never on board with the Grand Poobah's (see Gilbert & Sullivan) agenda.

A failure to plan is simply planning to fail.

That's okay.
I'm not on board with a bunch of.... people here either.

But I'm on board with the Grand Poobah.

One of your better ones. With a little help from Benjamin Franklin. Or was it Winston Churchill?
