A new year has begun. Of course, you will carry on with photography this year too. Will you carry on as before, or do you have any special resolutions? Share them, and who knows, you might inspire someone who is stuck in a photography slump.

A new year comes with resolutions. We all know them, and they come back every year. It is difficult to stick to those resolutions, or to keep them up. But who knows, perhaps you do not need any resolutions at all.

The same applies to photography. You can carry on with the photography you did over the past year. But you may also feel like starting a new project, or exploring a new photography theme.

What am I going to do, you may wonder? I have thought about that myself too. The answer is picking up light painting. It is something I have wanted to do for a while, but have not got around to yet. That is my photography resolution for 2024.

Perhaps you have already seen this one. It was a first real attempt at light painting. I want to do more of this in 2024. What are you going to do in 2024?

How about your photography resolution? Do you have something planned for 2024, or will you simply carry on? Share it with us in a comment below this post. I am curious to see what it is, and who knows, it might provide inspiration and ideas.

    My intention is to look more at famous photographers and let myself be inspired by them. Not to copy the idea but to translate the ideas into my Photographer DNA and become a better photographer again. You can also use AI to find famous photographers linked to a subject. The results are not gospel but they do help a little.

    Good question Nando. And I do have good resolutions. This year I’m going for my Master Qualification at MPN. I’m incredibly excited about that. The prospect of getting two coaches alongside me who will help me reach as high a level as possible, I find possibly even more interesting than achieving the qualification itself. I’m already working on the preparations for the process that will take up pretty much the entire year.

    Figure out what and where I can practice infrared and aerial photography in nature ... and then actually do it.
    A lightweight drone (max 249 g) that can be converted into (or is) an IR camera and then still find IR filters for it, that would be great. But, I haven't found either of those yet.

    Like @Bas Braad, I watch a lot of vlogs by pros, it inspires me and you also learn a lot from them. And furthermore, I hope in 2024 to be able to do more with HDR photography and practice more in Lightroom, to get more out of your photos.

    My resolution for 2024 is to use the PhotoPills program more intensively. Nando, I would therefore appreciate it if you released the second course soon. Thank you in advance.

    The Advanced Photopills course is coming out at the end of this month, so that works out well. vrolijk

    My intention is to spend a bit more time on studio photography. My physical mobility is slowly deteriorating, and going out is becoming increasingly difficult, while the beautiful places in nature and landscapes are often not independently accessible to me. So studio photography seems like a solution to continue pursuing my hobby independently.

    Haha my New Year's resolution will probably appeal to you. Taking part in all the VIP assignments from the Photofacts Academy and following the corresponding courses. 😁

    My New Year's resolution already started in December…20 years of digital photos sorted.
    2024 will be or should be… the year of developing those sorted photos in Lightroom Classic and creating photo books…. Think I'll suddenly make it a 2-year resolution 😉
