What would you most like to improve on?

Which aspect of photography would you most like to improve on?

Finding and making pictures and being able to PP them after...

Not much then!

I have so much to learn I don't know where to start!
I would really like to get the hang of PP though, so I can make the most of the pictures I take.

advanced lighting techniques....

I'd love to take less photographs.

I know that might sound strange but when I'm at a location I fire away like a madman.

Last time I was up at Glen Etive I was chatting to a guy who was very slowly & methodically setting up his camera and tripod. Just when I thought he was ready to take a photograph he wandered back to the car and returned with a pouch of filters, selected the one he wanted, slid it into the holder and returned the pouch to his car.
He came back with a flask and offered me a brew. All the while he was watching the weather without a care in the world just soaking up the location waiting for that moment.

He eventually took a couple of pictures and I've no way of knowing if they were any good but that's not really the point. I would just love to be able to slow down, relax and go with the flow.

You know, I second Phil - I have been trying so hard to do that lately - trying to get back into the frame of mind of using film - where you can't afford to snap away nineteen to the dozen! So far it's not working

I'd love to improve on PP as I suck at Photoshop!

I really want to improve on landscape stuff too - as it's something I adore, and appear to be awful at

heh..pick and choose, I started off on film, so i'm more selective w/ shots..even on digital. dont get me wrong tho, I still come out w/ over 100 shots easy whenever i go out, covering an event or on my own time, but I tend not to machine gun it. being selective also cuts down on my post production time. it really sux having to weed through a couple of hundred shots already...then PP-ing a good 40-60% of that.
too much time..

i'd like to add...filter usage to my 'like to learn/know' list and better macro photography

Yeah, digital you stand near some people and you can hear the camera shooting off a load quite often...saw an asshole of a stuck up amateur yesterday with a D3 and massive lens combo who certainly had an issue with other people with cameras. I could hear him doing about 10 shots every time he pressed the button...

I tend to keep mine on single frame but I do take a lot more than when I used film. I kniow with people shots there are sometimes unseen things happening behind or people close their eyes. With film you knew it cost money everytime you pressed the button.

Action shots! Would love to be able to get them right!

I do tend to be a bit conservative when shooting pics, I don't want to wear the shutter out on my expensive toy. Even so, my keepers are usually only about 75% and ALL of them I run through PS. I can almost always find some way to improve the shot (usually levels) so perhaps I need to concentrate more on getting a good image straight out of the camera.
