NEW MEMBER? Please Introduce Yourself Here

[Dave Humphries]

Hello!

We are very pleased you decided to join us.

Why not take a few minutes to briefly introduce yourself as a new member, but please do not post images for comment in this thread - it's just for introductions. You are welcome to post one image to demonstrate your photography style.

It can be confusing joining a new forum. The following information may help you in getting established here. We know you want to get started, but reading this will help you get started properly.

POSTING IMAGES - For technical advice on posting photos, please read this excellent guide How can I post images here? please also see; How to Get Effective Feedback for your Posted Images

VIEWING IMAGES - If you are looking for help on viewing images on this site then try here.

YOUR WEBSITE - If you have your own photo website or Flickr page you may put a link to it in your forum signature (see mine below for example). You can also introduce other members to your site in This thread.

LOCATION - Put yourself on our members map on Google. But please check the security aspects when you do this CiC Google map

CONDUCT - The general emphasis here is on support and learning. To do that, we often give detailed criticism on shots, where people have asked for it. We always try to do that in a fair, polite, and balanced manner. We also have a lot of fun on here, making humorous comments with one another. But again, it's nearly always done in a friendly manner, softened with the use of smilies.

If you follow the above guidelines you won't go far wrong. We rarely have a problem with things that are said on-line. However, the Admin/Mod group monitor all activity on this site, and any inappropriate comment will be removed or edited. We urge all new members to read the Code of Conduct FAQ.

TUTORIALS - Try our famous tutorials, especially if you have a specific or general technical question. See the menu at the top of the page.

POSTING - Just start a new thread to ask a new question/start a discussion/post your images, but please give some thought to starting it in the correct section. Or just reply to existing threads to join in with a discussion that is in progress. If you are doubtful about posting your work, then please read this How to Get Effective Feedback for your Posted Images The FAQ (on menu above) will give you general assistance if you have difficulty FAQ forum usage

Hi there "Pappyb",

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, we are a friendly bunch and usually address each other on first name terms, so it would be helpful to supply that info when posting - which I hope won't be too long coming.

I'm not personally a Sony shooter myself (Nikon DSLR, Canon compacts), but we have several experienced members who are Sony and they all regard them highly.

Kind regards,
Dave

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the PM, which I replied to a little earlier.

It took me a while to summon the courage to participate here, but I got there eventually, albeit many years ago now (yikes).

Warm welcome to the CiC forums from me,
Dave

Welcome to the CiC forums Martine,

As said to Pappyb a couple of posts ago, I do shoot Canon, preferring their compacts to Nikon's, even though I chose that brand for my DSLR.

I hope we see some of your photos here soon,
Dave

Hi, I'm a amateur photographer, shooting mostly floral and closeup work. I've just picked up a set of Vivitar Extension Tubes AT-3 for my Nikon D7000. Can anyone shed some light on how to use these non-AI non-AF devices on my Nikon? Thanks

Hi Dan, welcome to CiC.

Your reference to night photography reminded me that a number of years ago there was at least one lengthy thread dedicated to night/dark photography. After a few minutes hunting, I found it: Post Dark Photography .

Unfortunately many but not all of the photos in that thread are no longer accessible. That's because many of us used to use the now defunct Tinypics for posting photos.
