Hello,

I'm Leonard. Joined because I have a question I want to bring up in the Forums. I've used Cambridge as a technical resource for some years, now it's time to get involved. I live in California and have been, until recently, a dedicated Foveon sensor photographer. I sold my gear too soon in advance of the promised full-frame Sigma, so now (sigh) I use their fp, soon the fp-L.

Welcome, Leonard. I shoot Foveon-based cameras too. SD9 and also the SD15 with it's dust-cover removed so as to shoot IR/full spectrum. Looking forward to reading your question ...

Hi

I'm an old photo bug from the US , Indiana. I've been photographing for over fifty years and never tire of it. I've used all kinds of cameras, and now I'm still using different kinds. I have APSC and M4/3s, as I am 85 years old and not too strong. I take all kinds of pics but am limited because I am wheelchair bound or car bound. I use post processing programs and I also print some. Glad to be here, hello to all of you!

Thank you CiC, Blaster from Florida here. Retired military (Army/Navy) and now a traveler, anytime, anywhere (well Covid put a damper on that ) and love photography as a personal hobby and would love to continue improving my skills. Love traveling and photographing anything and everything, no real specialty, well maybe wildlife and landscapes. A Sony shooter and do a lot of basic post processing primarily for my own personal edification and of course still learning. Thanks for allowing me to join the forum.

Cheers

Hi guys, I am Caroline and I live in New Zealand. My passion is bird photography but I like to challenge myself with new genre and I am looking forward to learning heaps. I have a Nikon D850 which I love.

[Bob Calnan]

Hello
I’m Bob from Boston, MA. I’m fairly new to DSLR, and hoping to Learn and develop new skills. I tend to shoot urban landscapes, and some nature and wildlife. I would like to expand into photographing people — I think that’s the hardest. My gear is a Nikon D7500, and a few lenses. I’m just starting with post processing using NX Studio and Gimp. I want to be challenged in my learning and on the images I take. I’m looking forward to participating in CiC.

[Martin Slabbert]

Hi My name is Martin I live in South Africa 2km from the Southern border of the Kruger National Park. Thanks for the invitation to join the forum. I have recently decided to take my hobby of photography further and do it more seriously. I do mostly wildlife and landscapes. The latter much less than I would like. Shoot with Nikon after my dad gave me his Nikon many years ago in the film days.

[LenR]

Hi Martin, welcome to CIC. Are you in the Witrivier area? I have many fond, if distant (1970's) memories of the "Laeveld"
I am sure much has changed since then. Look forward to seeing some of your images.

[davidedric]

Hi Rob, and welcome to CiC. We all learn together here, so you are in the right place.

It's a good idea to post an image, say what you were trying to achieve and ask for "C&C", i.e. feedback. We're a constructive lot here, so it's a good way to learn.

Hello to you too, Jere, and welcome. I hope you'll be showing us some of your images before long. You're not the only one to have downsized. I also use m4/3, though I'm a bit more mobile than you - it's the right set of compromises for me.

Hi there and welcome. Nice first photo!

Would you mind filling out your profile a bit so that we know a name we can call you, and whereabouts in the world you are - that can be useful when offering advice

Hi Allan and a warm welcome to CiC. Sounds like you will fit in very well - we are all looking to improve our skills. There are one or two ex military here (look out for Richard Crowe - ex Navy photographer), and a lot of travellers - as you say when we're able to. Hope that you will share some images with us.

Hi Caroline, and a warm welcome to CiC. You certainly live in a beautiful country, with lots of interesting birds (we toured there a few years ago). What do you think your next genre might be?

Hi Bob, and welcome to CiC. There are photographers from every genre here, who will be happy to share tips and tricks and offer constructive comments on your work, if you wish (it's really the best way to learn).

Look forwards to hearing more from you. Dave
