My goals are many and hopefully I'll be able to accomplish a decent amount of them.
1) Finally get my solar filter out and put it on my brothers Mead 125XT and get some frame filling D800 shots with it.
2) Some fisheye star trail shots.
3) Some macro work with my bellows and the enlarger lenses... Really want to do some insect pictures this year
4) Long exposure nebula/planetary pictures with whatever scope I have at hand. Would prefer the Mead 125XT for this job.
5) Some random wildlife photos just because I haven't really done to much of that.
6) Some awesome lightning shots and if I can get storm spotter trained and talk to some people I know who take storm shots for a living see about tagging with them to see how they do it. Oh yeah get the proper sensors for my Camera Axe to have that help with the lightning pictures. Manual is all well and good but the D800 and just my reaction times aren't as awesome as the Camera Axe. That will do it with a higher hit rate provided I have the proper sensors.
7) Actually get decent with my portrait pictures. I have been told I do good work but I know I can improve a lot on what I have done so far.
8) Finally get out my 35mm f/2.8 PC and try some architectural pictures with it.
9) If I can acquire the goodies try some micro photography.
10) Learn more of the abilities of the cameras I have. I know they can do a lot more than I have been doing with them.
Its a list of 10 that hopefully I can get a decent amount done on if all goes well. This year is gonna be great I think.
11) Forgot to add this one. Figure out how to repair some Nikon flash units and some of the AF-S lenses.
Yeah.. The reason I mostly wasn't able to get a lot of that done this year was lousy weather and location to skies that aren't light polluted like mad. So yeah some pressure now but at least it should all be lots of fun.
He does indeed have a site here - full of somewhat dubious opinions and 'facts', hence my comments. This guy thinks he invented everything - Internet, photography, electricity etc. - quite amusing sometimes...
For my birthday in December, a friend of mine who used to work as an art buyer and as an instructor at a fairly well known photography program is going to help me organize my work to put on my first show, something I've dreamed of doing since I picked up my first camera in 1976.
Gosh so far it is to take pictures at all! Although this is always a slow time of year for me. Everything is dead and ugly here in the winter...that and the weather has been less then great to get out.
Not sure I have any goals though...started a new job and so far it has been a bit hectic with the new schedule and all...I might get to travel some though which could lead to some photo opportunities.

Last year 2012, as everybody know now, the world ended, a big apocalyps, everybody wrote about it daily, there is even a film made.
It was the best opportunity in a long long time, I leave the world as it ended, go for a brand new start and I don't make the same mistrakes, sorry mistakes, as I made in the old world .... ok, maybe a couple of small ones.
The best start: As an upgrade for my good old Nikon D300, I bought myself a Nikon D600 yesterday, Jippie.

Those who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it!

I've decided that I must stop visiting Ren Kockwells site just to laugh at the rubbish he spurts out every day.
It used to be amusing - until I realised that there are actually people out there who believe him... :-t
