Greetings, My name is Marilyn and I happened upon this site and I am anxious to view other photographers work as well as seek information and advice in improving my own photography. I take various types of photos from landscapes, birds and occasionally people and street photography. I have only been doing this for the past three or four years and I am still in the learning phase so I need al the help I can get. I live in Newport, Rhode Island. I have been using a Canon SX50 Powershot and also just bought a Canon 70D. I have some photos on Flickr but at this time I don't have the name of the website. When I do I will post it here.

Welcome to the group. Flicker is good but posting directly here is the usual thing to do

My name is Randy and I reside in a suburb of Chicago.

Hello Randy! Welcome to CiC - I'm pleased you finally decided to sign up.

We all have something to learn and something to offer, that and the attitude of the members is what makes it a great community to be a part of. There are lots of nature and wildlife enthusiasts here (I'm one of them) as you have probably seen while you've been following us.

Post processing is a funny business - most either love it or hate it. Maybe the darkroom was the same, I don't know because I never did any, apart from some micrography like yourself, optical and electron, but that was decades ago. Me, I enjoy it, but then it also passes the time while it's raining, which it does rather a lot here.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks for the warm greeting, Dave. I, too, also did electron microscopy work decades ago, using both Zeiss and Siemens TEMs. My darkroom work was primarily developing the negatives I took and then printing the micrographs.

I look forward to contributing to the forum and learning how to improve both my camera and post-processing skills.
All the best,
Randy

Hi Harv, welcome to the forum. There are quite a few retirees around here. It's great, it's just sad you have to be old to do it

Hope to see you around,

Dave

Hello Patryk, and a warm welcome to our community. If you want to learn and become a better photographer, you have come to the right place because that is what we are all about. We all share and help each other, and I think we have experts in pretty much everything. We do have one rule - the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you,

Dave

Hi Les and welcome on board. It sounds as if you are getting back into the hobby in a major way. I look forward to seeing some of your people shots!
(By coincidence, I'm off on vacation to Australia for the first time in October. Very much looking forward to it, but my interests are very much wildlife and landscape, so rather different).

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Gerhard, and a warm welcome to CiC. I had to look up Nelspruit on the map. Looks like you are right on the door step of Kruger and the other game places - paradise for a wildlife shooter. I have travelled quite a lot in Africa (I am also very interested in wildlife), but not not so much in South Africa. I did once travel on an overland truck from Harare to Cape Town many years ago, which was quite epic.
Look forward to seeing some of your wildlife shots,

Cheers,

Dave

Hey my name is jaron and I'm in south Florida.

Welcome, Jaron. There are lots of wildlife fans here. Are those juvenile anhingas? Their colouring doesn't look like adults.

Hello, New to the site. I am photographing only small jewelry items for my shop with a canon Rebel T1i. I have been told a tilt shift lens is my best bet to accomplish full depth of field. If that is true, what mm is best 24 or 45?
Thank You
