Hi...
I am Kerry, (retired), and live in MELBOURNE, Australia.
Thanks for the helpful and intelligent site.
I have been shooting for about 3 or 4 years now.
I have a Pentax K20 with 70mm and 20-70 zoom, and Nikon D500 & D80 with various lenses.
I like seascapes , but shoot anything that takes my fancy, which seems to be a lot.



Thanks again;
Kerry

Hi,

My name is Julia and I have been taking pictures with a slr camera and I enjoy taking pictures. Recently my children told me that I need to do something with that camera and that I should go back to school, so I did. I'm getting my associate's degree in digital photography. I didn't realize how much there is to know about dslr camera's. I finished my 1st semester and I have to say I was confused and thought that I wouldn't be able to do this. I was looking for tutorial's to help me understand things and found this forum, I hope to gain more information from the forums and the tutorials. I look forward to posting some of my photos for feedback.

Hi,
My name is Sunil Bhalla. I am from India and currently live/work in the United Arab Emirates. I have been taking pictures using point and shoot cameras for the last 25 years from my high school days. Since the last couple of years, I have got interested in more serious photography using SLR camera and have recently bought my first SLR with a couple of lenses. I've started shooting and am loving the experience and results of an SLR.
Have read many articles in the tutorial section of CIC and they are simply GREAT to understand the concepts quickly
I have just started the journey and have a long way to go. Hope to learn a lot from this amazing forum.

Cheers!!
Sunil

Hi All

Thank you to the team who administer this site.
I am getting a Tilt Shift lens for my Canon camera for Christmas - Yeah I bought it for myself - sad hey.
So was searching for info on using the new lens and found this site. Liked what I saw, so decided to join.

I live in Toowoomba in Queensland Australia. We are located about 130k west of Brisbane in an area referred to as the Darling Downs.
Interested in learning more about photography even though I have had my own camera for nearly 50 years and my dad was a keen photographer with his own darkroom.

Look forward to reading more and very interested in anyone who already has a medium format digital camera -
My wife who is also a photographer - currently shoot using a range of Canon cameras (50D, 5DMk2, 1D Mk4).

Hope those of you in the UK and Europe and holding up in the current cold conditions.


Cheers

Hi Mal and welcome to CiC.

Always good to have a few more Aussies on board. There has been a great influx of Canadians lately and we need to even the score.

[Prathi]

Hey everyone! I am prathi and am from India. It is wonderful to see all those beautiful images as soon as you log in
Well basically i m a person who loves colour (any colour for that matter) and that is why i fell in love with photography.
I use photography to express myself. As of now m using a modest Canon Powershot A495.Well its only a bad carpenter who blames his tools! So i try not to crib about not having a DSLR
Well that is all for now.
Cheers!

[Peter Ryan]

Hi Prathi and welcome to CiC.

The advantage of a Powershot is you can concentrate on understanding light and composition without worrying about apertures and shutters, etc. I am a colour man myself and there is much colour in India. There is still much to learn and practise with a compact and we look forward to seeing some of you images.

I do hope you enjoy learning here and part of that is also commenting on images posted by others. That way we can also learn from you.

Hello from Mauritius! My name is Farhana

Farhana.

Welcome to CiC. I think (although I might be wrong) that you are the first person on the site from Mauritius.

You should have a look, sometime, at the thread that tells you about the CiC Google Map. The you can go to the map and place your self on it.

But, firstly, I hope you enjoy being part of this forum and that you will find it helps your development in photography.

CiC is a resource strongly focused towards learning, no matter what your current level of knowledge, skills and experience. As well as these forums, where you can engage in discussion, ask questions and seek comment and criticism on your pictures, CiC has a comprehensive range of tutorials that, by common consent, are amongst the most sensible and straightforward that you can find anywhere. Remember to have a look on the tutorials and techniques pages which you can access from the menu bar.

And finally, the Mod team thought it might be a useful addition to CiC to have in-house access to some selected video tutorials. You can find them in the Community Lounge forum under 'Photography Video Tutorials'.

[John Dutton]

This is my first posting to the community. I have been retired for about 15 years and in my early seventies. I have just started photography as a hobby last year with the purchase of a Canon G10 point and shoot camera. My main interest is landscape photography and being in a rule area I have a great opportunity to exercise this interest. The attached photo is a sample of my work.

Hope we see lots more like that one above.

[Andrew Harber]

Hello, my name is Andrew and am new to digital photography - I have recently bought a Leica X1 primarily because of it compact size, my work takes me abroad and because it has an external viewfinder. B&W used to be my preferred medium since I am red / green colour blind ! I was hoping that the technical options within Adobe Lightroom 3 would enable me to develop photographs that were not to bizarre to normal coloured vision people. Thats my introduction - a red green coloured blind person interested in colour digital photography !! This could get philosophical !!

[MJFVisions]

Hi CIC site. My name is Marty and a friend suggested I come to this site to post a picture of mine. This is rather new to me, so have some patience with my first attempt. I've seen some great photos thus far and look forward to visiting as often as I can and learning from what I see, as well as any constructive criticism I may receive. Thanks again and enjoy!
