I am interested mainly in Birds(feathered) and Macro and although a newbie I am showing improvement. I will be hanging around watching and learning, and hope to soon make contributions. Best regards to all Charlie.

welcome on board.

Hi, I am a long retired (but bursting with enthusiasm) 74 year old.

I have been involved in photography since my 10th birthday when I was given a Brownie 127. Family portraits were my best subject and I have done all my darkroom days.

I joined our local photographic club here in the UK (Welwyn Garden City) in 2007.

ONLY THEN was it that I really found out what photography was all about. Since then I have been Chairman of the club for several years, but happily I have now done my stint and am glad to be back to full time photography once again.

I love landscapes, portraits and wildlife and my latest interest is street photography. I have entered very many competitions and put several prints in galleries. I've had a few notable successes along the way too.

Always with other photographers, I travel to all sorts of places in the UK and overseas, so landscapes and people figure highly. It is the overseas trips where my other lifetime love, languages, gets re-polished. Whether it be to France, Spain, Portugal or Russia, together with photography, it all helps to keep my brain active.

My last trip was to Cuba in November - what a photographer's paradise - and I attach an image 'Cuban Girl' that I took there.

My current gear is a Nikon D810 (following, respectively a D800 and a D200) and have a big collection of all Nikon lenses, Gitzo tripod and Arca Swiss ball head.

For street photography I have an Olympus EPL-5, it's flip screen and with the fabulous 40mm prime Panasonic lens, allows me to get in close and produces excellent results.

I have always held CiC in high regard and it is my 'go to' website for the definitive answer to all my photographic and printing problems.


I look forward to a closer relationship with all of you, in trying to take my images to the next level.

Hi, my name is Cody. I've been reading articles from this website for years and have always enjoyed them and have learned alot from them. Looking forward to learning even more!!

Hello everyone, I'm Maz from Southampton! Just found your forum while looking for subject matter regarding infra red conversions and the lens/camera combinations people are finding the best 😊

Hi I'm Mandy and am sharing my time between Warwickshire and London in the UK. I love photography, but I don't have the skill set I would like to have at my fingertips just yet. I'm hoping, with hard work and sheer determination, coupled with a couple of nice lenses, to improve. :) I'm 50, been married for almost eternity and have two grown boys who have flown the nest, yay. We have three cats, are dogless at the moment but have always had dogs and love being out doors and walking and photographing the wildlife, I just wish I could carry the weight of the longer lenses.

Hello
My name is Rob.
I've had the good fortune to have lived in the southwest, northwest and midwest and am currently in a burb outside Chicago.
I've loved photography and film/video since my high school days in the 70's.
I gone through many phases in both still and motion over the years.
From Dark Room days to full frame DSLR's to Super 8, Scuba and a host of camera and film equipment.
My wife has been shooting stills since high school also.

Today, we both enjoy an afternoon with our Bridge Cameras, shooting things we find on trips, trails or birds/animals passing through the back yard. All for nothing more then the pleasure of sharing/viewing in the evening after a days shooting.

I'm happy to have found Cambridge Colour for it's wealth of informative information as one can never stop learning this medium.

Happy New Year!
Rob

Hi everyone, I'm one of all 7,481,918,980 of us at time of writing, phew!

I'm a lifelong enthusiast photog, given a Kodak Instamatic as I entered my teens and the school camera club and darkroom, through a Olympus OM-2 with 28, 50, and 100mm lenses, to Fuji X-E2 with 14mm and 35mm (1.4). I did have a Canon iP5200 printer for years, was never really happy with it, atm only have a non-photo printer and am keenly eyeing up a P800 (over the 600 due to larger carts).

I like abstact, minimalist, b&w, pastel color images mainly, and ones that stir the emotions.

Software: CS5 with Lr and Nik, and Lr Enfuse.

Edit: I should add that I work on a Win8.1 lappie with ips screen, and have a Dell U2414H with the same resolution that doesn't get used as much as it should. There is also the old Spyder2 sitting nearby, which will be the subject of my first post...

With apologies for not greeting you sooner.

Dave

Hi there,

Welcome to CiC as a member (and thanks for the lovely Cuban girl portrait). It's clear that you have a wealth of experience, so I hope that as well as taking your photos to the next level, you can help the rest of us take better photos too - that's what we are all about, sharing and helping.

Would you mind updating your profile so that we know where you are based (UK or Welwyn Garden City is is fine), and a "real" name.

Cheers, Dave

Hi there, and a very warm welcome. Delighted that you have decided to join up. Look forward to seeing more and hearing more from you. Where abouts in the world are you (and can you add it to your profile)?

Regards, Dave

Hi Maz, and welcome. If you want more info on infra red etc, I suggest that you post a question in the "Digital Cameras and Equipment" forum where more folks will read it and be able to help you.

Hi Mandy. Nice introduction I feel I know you already!

We are all about helping each other learn, so you have certainly come to the right place. There are systems with lighter long lenses, but that may be a long discussion :) Anyway, I think you will do just fine here.

Regards, Dave

Hi all.

Alan from from North West England.
Currently using EOS 40D (Still a great workhorse) and EOS 7d Mk1.

Shooting predominantly wildlife - 95% birds with a Sigma 150-500. I'm getting acceptable results with this set up so see no reason to upgrade just yet.
For PP I'm using Adobe CC (Lightroom & Photoshop) with Topaz denoise. Also occasionally use DxO Optics Pro 9

Looking forward to picking up and sharing useful tips and tricks

Hi Alan,a nd welcome on board from another North Western member (well, just about in East Cheshire). I can see that you've already pitched well into the forums. Excellent images, too. Look forward to more.

Dave
