New Year's Chase Resolutions for 2025

[William Monfredo]

It's been a handful of years since there's been a thread for new resolutions for getting out in an upcoming chase-season. I'm going to try not to discount scenarios where the bulk shear is too low or too high, and try to keep a good, non-gloomy attitude. Also, I want to get back into carrying a cooler of food, because even though I've gotten away with eating at some locations during chasing, when the setups quickly change, time becomes a factor in relocating. Your resolutions, or things you might do differently?

I have had a lot of up close intercepts lately but want my video to be better. I also am working on improving my editing skills.

Okay...one more. Even though there's always lighter, smaller, more convenient items to carry and shoot with, I want to grab the good, high-megapixel, full-frame DSLR and use it more often. I've got a Nikon w/ some decent lenses and need to just bring that stuff more often.
I got so used to doing so much with so little for so long, that it's a habit to squeeze out the best possible out of the most marginal. I now like having those 45 MP on a 35mm-sized sensor, because it produces gradations of tone w/ lots of detail, and I can crop & print without a penalty.
