My new years resolution is ...

My new years resolution is to teach my new Nikon D80 on how to take pictures of fungi. At the moment his little sister "Darling" Olympus C8080 is doing all the hard work

The rest, I'll just put on hold for another year

Re: My new years resolution is ...

As far as photography is concerned mine would have to be mastering the moth pics on my KM Dz5 in time for the spring and summer invasions. The rest of the resolutions... the usual boring stuff.

Re: My new years resolution is ...

My daughter asked me this the other day. One was to learn to play the guitar, one was unrepeatable lol. I also plan on getting to some LNR that are not too far from me ie. Pennington Flash, Rostherne Mere.
Not forgetting to check in and post on WAB daily.
Have a lovely New Year everyone and may 2007 be your best year yet xxxx

Easy to learn the basics, very hard to master. There are loads of websites available for free tutorials and stuff.


My resolutions are mostly fitness related.

Re: My new years resolution is ...

My New Years Wildlife resolution is to be less scared of things that cant hurt me, but not snakes, as they are evil, and spiders. Last year I managed moths and this year I will record them.

I also propose to travel more and meet more WAB members, as those I have met so far have all been top drawer

Late July is my Birthday weekend, so I am bound to organise something. And just for you Mrs Fish I will organise something for weekend of 21/22 July at Minsmere. How does that sound?

I certainly agree with that one.

I have resolved to get a bit fitter as long as it doesn't mean giving up beer.

On the wildlife side I have resolved to continue work on my Dragonfly book and to try and become a reasonable bird photographer ( as soon as I get my 100 - 400 L IS lens).

Re: My new years resolution is ...

Wild Woman, are you mixing those potions again?
My new year resolution is to do more of the things I say I want to do, instead of just talking about them!

Re: My new years resolution is ...

I'm doing the opposite and resolving not to make resolutions that I won't stick to!
One resolution I am going for is to keep my records up to date and pass them on to recorders asap. So, everyone, keep good records and pass them on to someone!

Learn how to use my camera properly instead of just hoping for the best.

Re: My new years resolution is ...

My main NYR is to see my first ever Kingfisher, getting photographs would be the icing on the cake! I would also like to spend some more time in the mountains getting even more shots of Mountain Hare and Ptarmigan And to see my first ever Waxwing and get some pics!

Re; snakes they are more scared of you and getting squashed/injured,try lying on the floor and looking up at a lot of people (without getting arrested ) you can get an idea of how scared they are
Happy New Year
