Hello Danielle. Where are you studying? How far into your course are you?

Great to have you here and I hope that being part of the forum helps your studies.

By the way - 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.

Thanks for the welcome, I was confused by the seemingly active text, INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE at the top of the screen Never mind I am in now.

So to intro myself. I am Ian, a pro photographer who after a good training in advetising photography and making a living in this field, in London, but later, in the north of the country, as a commercial photographer and studio owner, I transitioned to TV and film work. I have worked all around the world and a couple of commercials I shot won RTS awards and a channel 4 Best Short Film award.

Anyway, I am continuing to shoot TV and film projects but am now restarting my photo career after 20 odd years away. I just bought a Canon 5Ds and will be upgrading my L series lenses to more modern versions or carl Zeiss, can't decide. I need to buy newer studio lighting kit to supliment my 5 3 decades old Elinchrom units, which have been very reliable but are a bit limited by comparison with today's alternatives. I also need to develop my digital skillset, I was working on large format and Hasselblad film cameras. In recent yeasr I have been shooting on a 5D mk 1 and so I have some digital knowledge but I have not been trying to keep up with this rapidly evolving tech and workflow methods, so am compitent but not at all expert in digital photography.

Enough for now, I think.

I look forward to contributing and to learning.

Ian

Here is a test shot done this spring when assessing a Haselbald 50 megapixel camera.

[Donald]

Thank you Ian. It's a pleasure to have you on board. I'm shooting with a 5DS and thoroughly enjoying it.

I hope that as well as learning (for we all continue to learn) that you will share your knowledge and experience so that others can learn from you.

And that's a beautiful introductory image.

Donald,

Hi and of course I will contribute when I feel I have something of value to offer, as I indicated in my intro.

Thanks for the kind comment about my Saltburn pier photo. It is one of a series I made whilst assessing the 50 mega pixel Hasselblad and Phase One cameras this spring. I only had each camera for a couple of days and I was busy working in my office most of the time so only in the evenings did I get chance to play. The weather was gastly when I shot the pier photo, 56 mph winds, very very cold and raining on and off, so I had the pier to myself, which is very rare and very helpful, but I did not have much scope to try all sorts of differents shoots. I like the cameras but just felt initially I should consentrate on updating and improving my dslr system which will be more affordable and allow me to work for more afforable day rates then in the future I can compare MF offerings with the newy high res DSLR before deciding if it is worth the huge price premium, a decision for another day.

I like the work you have posted, by the way. keep up the good work.

Ian

[Donald]

i'm new to photography but i am really enjoying it.

And that, for us amateurs Andy, is what it should all be about.

Great to have you here and I hope you find the forum enjoyable as well as helpful. There is no such thing as a dumb question on here, so pleased ask whatever questions you might have.

By the way, if you prefer being addressed as Andy, rather than Andrew, you could change your 'real name' in your profile so that is what will appear at the left alongside your posts.

Hellow everyone, I am a chinese, and not very good at english. I always go hiking and take photoes, I really want to take beautiful photoes of stars in night, but it's a little hard to me, the result is not good. I hope I can learn more about that at here.

Hello and welcome to the Cambridge in Colour forum. Your written English is easily understood.

I hope you enjoy being a member of the forum and that being so does help you improve your photography.

If it is possible to do so using characters from the Latin alphabet, you can, if you choose to do sol, enter your 'real name' into your profile so that it appears alongside all your posts to the forum. 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'. 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.
