I'm a new member from Maine in the U.S. I see there are folks from around the globe on this site, and I'm looking forward to reading threads and getting ideas on how best to use my Nikon DSLR. I've had it about two years now and am just now seriously learning how to use it. Previously, I used a Canon Point & Shoot that takes good macro shots, but I'm looking for more depth of field and great bokeh. I have a new macro lens coming today which should help with my macro photography. Any suggestions are greatly welcome.

Nancy,

Welcome aboard.

If you are looking for increasing DOF when going up to a DSLR you may have your work cut out for you.

This CIC tutorial will cover some of that information for you along with issues regarding other differences in sensor sizes.

Hello! New member from London. I got into photography two years ago after I got my first camera. I actually spent a good few weeks reading CiC tutorial articles before I bought my camera, and learnt a lot of things from this place. Just discovered that CiC has a rather active forum and now I've joined!

In terms of interest I have a particular thing for ultra-wide images, so that means a lot of architecture, landscape, cityscape. I am a Fujifilm user and a fan of the mirrorless movement.

I absolutely LOVE taking pictures!

And that has got to be what it's all about for us amateurs.

Thank you for joining the forum Kimara. That's a nice couple of images you've put up by way of introduction. In addition to the competition sections of the forum, the two main sections for posting images for comment are; 1) Nature & Architecture and, 2) People and Pets. So please do put your images in there so that many more people will see them and be able to comment.

Hi, I am Zeeshan from India. I am a newbie to the world of photography and have been taking photographs with my nikon d3300 for the last 6 months or so. I hope to learn a lot from this forum as I have found the tutorials and some forum posts really interesting and informative. I am interested the most in landscape photography as I am really passionate about traveling to varied awe inspiring landscapes, hoping to learn a lot. Cheers!

Hi, I am Zeeshan from India

Hello Zeeshan, and a very warm welcome to our community. We all learn from each other here, so you are in the right place. India is a very big country! Whereabouts are you from? It would be good if you could update your profile with that, and add Zeeshan as your "real name"

I look forward to hearing more from you,

Dave

Hi!!! folks. I have purchased a Nikon D5200 and am just getting back into photography after just using my little Sony on automatic for a few years. I have been interested in photography for many years (since the late 60's). Infact my first reflex was a Zenith followed after by my trusty Practica. My real interest is in Landscape and interesting shots of life. I now need to improve my manual knowledge to take my photos to the next level. I also
need to improve my photo editing ability especially using something like Paint Shop Pro but I suppose like most I am striving for perfection

[ChellieM]

Hi, I'm Michelle and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I was referred to this forum through a photography course that I'm completing. I'm very new to photography and am really keen to learn. Photography is, will be a hobby for me, for my own enjoyment. I just love the way that a photo can say a thousand things and how different people have different perspectives.

I'm using an entry level Canon dslr, still using Auto mode, but slowly using and beginning to understand the more manual settings of my camera.

Hi to all on CIC, my name is Grant. Living in Sydney Australia, I am a keen enthusiast considering the possibility of setting up a dedicated photography business. I look forward to actively participating in and on this forum

... but I suppose like most I am striving for perfection

Indeed, Kenneth. And the trick sometimes is to be satisfied with what's 'good enough' and not torture ourselves with the constant striving for that perfection. But it's no bad trait to possess.

Great to have you here and I hope you enjoy being involved.
