My Photography Resolution

I have read a couple of blog posts already regarding others Photography resolution, and it got me thinking as to what mine would be.

I am a big photograph taker on my phone and love apps such as Instagram, where you can add gorgeous effects to your photo’s.  The problem with that is that the pictures are not a good enough resolution to get blown up and put into picture frames.

I have also fallen into the habit of not taking our “big” camera out and about with us, as we have our phones.  Plenty a good photo opportunity missed there.

Why am I always the one behind the camera?  Sometimes we go for days out and there is not one photo of me!  I admit that sometimes I shy away from having my picture taken as I always think I look a mess, or over-weight etc.  But my family loves me for who I am and I want those sorts of pictures!

Lastly, and most importantly, I can never get my children in the same place at the same time.  I think the only family photograph I have is from Eliza’s Christening in April last year, and it isn’t a very good one.

So, my photography resolution for 2012 is:

1.  To take our lovely nice big camera out, whenever we go on a day trip – and sometimes at home

2.  To make sure that I am IN FRONT of the camera on occasions.  Even if it means accosting a stranger to take our photo

3.  To take every opportunity to get my whole family together for a photograph!

4.  To take part in the wonderful Gallery every week!
