Hello! my name is Caterina from Italy. I have been following CIC for a while, but I never posted because I thought that my pictures weren't good enough. The quality of what I see here is soooo high! Now I have decided to make the big jump and try to post in the hope that the criticisms coming from the community will help me to improve. I used a Nikon D3200 and I have now bought a Fujifilm xT-30 that I'm still trying to get acquainted with.

Nice effort, I like the fact that the colours are all variations on the same theme. i don't like the blown highlights of the music stand on the left. Perhaps a crop (square) to remove that would make for a stronger image.

Hi Im Jez , always played around with cameras lots of holiday snaps , recently moved to Hastings East Sussex and fell in love with the area and discovered there's more to photography than holiday snaps , bought myself a Nikon D3500 and want to understand how to use it and ensure my eyes as good as I hope , I am a baby in the world of photography .

Hello, Cory here in South Dakota. I have enjoyed photography for many years although I can't claim to be exceptional at it. Have mostly used Canon products starting in film days and now use a Canon 60D with Canon EF 35 f2; Canon EFS 18-56 f3.5-5.6; and Tamron 18-270 f3.5-5.6. Have enjoyed information picked up here and look forward to increasing my technical expertise.

Hi Jez, and a warm welcome to CiC. This is a great place to share and learn - so I hope you'll enjoy being a part of this community. (My (late) mother-in-law lived in Hastings, but for some reason I never got time to take many photographs

Hello, I'm Bob and I live in a beautiful part of rural Suffolk UK.
I've been forced to retire from professional driving and now stay at home taking photographs of what can be found in (and close to) my garden to pass the time, hence most are close ups.
Although I use ancient low cost "preloved" cameras and obscure lenses, I'm happy with the results...after all, I just have to please myself.
My meagre efforts can be viewed on my Flickr page

Thanks for reading.

Howdy from Texas!

I joined Cambridge in Colour a few years ago but I have only read the tutorials and done a bit of lurking. Now it seems to be a time become more active.

I am a retired math teacher from the Houston area. My primary photo interests are black and white photography, panoramas, and macros. My gear is Pentax and my main forum is pentaxforums.com.

Creating gear for my photography is part of my hobby, and I have built my studio macro setup, including my own automatic stacking rail which uses a stepper motor driven linear screw and an Arduino microcontroller.

Currently I am building a programmable, motorized tripod head for panoramas. It will have both pan and tilt axes to allow taking multi-tier panoramas. If all goes as planned, it will be controlled via Bluetooth from my iPhone to eliminate the need for a keypad and display.

Hi Bob, and a warm welcome to CiC. I hope you enjoy being a part of this community. There are quite a few members who make the same kind of images that you have in your Flickr stream, so if you are looking to share or ask for tips be sure to post some images (use the Nature and Architecture forum). Please could you also add your name and general location to your profile, so that they appear alongside all your posts. As well as being nice to know where people are in the world, it can be useful when offering advice.

Regards, Dave

Well howdy to you (or should that be y'all)

Sounds like you are creating some interesting stuff for your photography. I think there would be quite a few members around here, probably landscape and architecture photographers, interested in how the tripod head goes - sounds like a neat idea.

Look forward to hearing and seeing more from you,

Cheers, Dave

Greetings.
Stumbled upon this site while doing some research and am looking forward to exploring it and learning from it. I was introduced to photography many moons ago while in high school and now, having joined the retirement club, am looking forward to re-igniting the passion for the art that I once had.

Current equipment:
Nikon D7200
Nikkor 18-140mm f3.5/5.6
Nikkor 55-300mm f4.5/5.6
Nikkor 105mm f2.8 (love this lens)

Hi Carlos, welcome to CiC. As you'll discover, there are a number of other retired Canadians here. It's a good place to be!

G'day. Tim here from Australia. Dabble mainly in landscapes and dogs, and a bit of photoshop fantasy as a bit of stress release https://www.flickr.com/photos/145172533@N07/

Hello. I am Robert and I live in Boucherville (near Montréal), Québec, Canada. I have two hobbies: python programming and photography.

Hello, and thanks. I've been taking photos since 1967. Was an Ophthalmic Photographer/Technician for over 40 yrs. My first digital camera was an Olympus 3MP. Currently I have a Nikon D3200.

[Steve Peabody]

Hi People,
My name is Steve (73 yrs.)
I live 12 km. south (actually it's east) of Powell River, BC Canada
Google Map didn't like looking through the trees so....
I live alone, on a couple of acres (not too far away from the end) of a dead end road. This area is zoned agricultural and has a lot of wild animals roaming around and through the area. I'm about 5 or 6 minutes (by car) from the salt water and a couple of beaches.
I got to this site via flickr. I'm just learning photo editing, so I'm new to GIMP

Hi Steve, Do you do landscape and wildlife photography? It sounds like you are ideally situated for that. Whatever you do, I look forward to seeing your work!

[mefarmcon]

Re new member I am Martin and after 40 years as an agricultural getting back to photography aiming to get to an advanced level. Interests are landscape nature and wildlife. CinC seems an ideal forum away from the constant stream of “join this course “emails I get. Look forward to some interesting info. Equipment is Nikon d750 with 18-35, 24-120 and 28-300 lenses

Hi Steve, welcome to CiC. As you'll discover there are a few of us who live in BC and elsewhere in Canada. There are also a few who know the area well but now live overseas. I look forward to seeing your photos.
