Hello everyone!
My name is Corin from Florida. A few years ago my husband bought me a Nikon J1 for Christmas and well that's where this all begins. I am still new to photography and learning as I go, but I do love it. I am happy to have a forum in which to ask questions and soak up information. Hope to chat soon!

Hello, everyone! I'm Winnie (Bernacchi Raza are my last names). I'm from Seattle, WA, and I've always loved taking photos! I'm just starting to understand photography as I recently bought a decent camera. I'm basically starting from zero, learning everything I can to improve the quality of my photos. This website have been helping me a lot, and I just have to thank you for that.
My style are landscapes, nature, sunsets, sky, animals etc. I'm very excited to keep learning from you and I hope someday I can also contribute to those that will be learning by then.

Hello, Winnie and welcome to the forum. Thank you for deciding to join.

I always feel that one of the good things about this forum is that those taking part remember that they once started from zero as well and know that if you don't ask you don't learn. So, please jump right in there and I hope you enjoy it.

Hello Jogja. It is good to welcome you back to the forum. The forum does exist to allow you to explore what other people think and do, so please do ask questions and join in discussions.

Hello Letty and welcome to theCiC forum. I hope you find that it does help you improve your photographic knowledge and skills. A couple of things:

You posted up an image. Thanks for that. But if you want people to comment on it, you'd be better putting it into the Nature & Landscapes section of the forum. That way more people will see it. Also, sometimes people are not sure about asking for comments and criticism on their images. This thread gives you some helpful advice and guidance about how to get the best feedback from fellow members.

Pleased excuse me, but I'm not sure if 'Letty' is your real name or a UserName. So that you don't continue to get people asking you what your proper name is, because most us use that on here, you can go to Edit Profile (under 'Forum Actions' on the Menu Bar), or you can just press on 'Settings' on the menu bar right up at the top right of the window. Once there you can enter the name by which you wish to be addressed under 'Real Name'. Then it will appear underneath your Username in all your posts. You can also enter your location so that it does the same, just as in my details alongside this message. Then we all know where everyone is in the world.

Hello, Mustafa and welcome to this forum. I hope you enjoy being involved and find it helpful.

One of the best ways to learn is by asking questions. People on here will always be happy to share their knowledge and experience and will strive to answer your questions as well as possible. Also, if you study the tutorials that make up part of this website and then have any questions from those, please do ask.

If you wish, you can go to Edit Profile and put in your location, so that it appears in the sidebar alongside your message, just like mine beside this message. Then everybody knows where everybody else is.

Hi Letty,

That's a fine image. It would have fit well included in your introduction and is just as fine standing on it's own.

There are several forums here and it would likely get more attention in the Nature and Architecture forum.

I like the way that the shadows of the clouds follow the slope of the hills. In fact, the dark one center right provides a way for the light bush to be well defined by providing a dark background.

I might have cropped out the bare patch from the bottom. There would still be a bit of green on the right but the bright spot would be gone, the brown grass would be more of a foreground interest and the horizon would be moved slightly off the centerline.

I've taken the liberty of applying the crop here.
