Crusty and Remi, welcome from me too.

Enjoy the site.

Raker,

"I'm completely and utterly confused by modern photography, mainly because of the jargon and buzzwords which I find completely impenetrable most of the time."

I look at your 'stream and find that statement astonishing! Anyway, welcome again mate.

Hi to all of you

After my first post in the Nature & Architecture topic I decided to introduce meself over here. Too bad it took a comment of a forum member for me to find this threat .

My name is Jeroen and I'm a 16 year old student from The Netherlands. I recently bought a Compacht Digital Camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35) to start discovering the fine art of fotography. I know a CDC isn't 'the real deal' but it a proper Digital SLR Camera would be too expensive for a boy of my age only just starts taking pictures. I hope I'll find over here the help, knowledge and experience to improve my pictures a lot.

Some looking around on this forum and site rapidly convinced me on this forum I can find enough great tutorials, knowledge and awesome examples.

Kind regards,

Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

I had a quick look at the spec for your camera, looks quite reasonable and it goes to a nice wide angle too.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Anyway, welcome to the forum,

[The Blue Boy]

Yeah welcome Jeroen. You've certainly started out on the right track with joining this site. Made me wonder if you are our youngest member. I wonder if the moderators could enlighten us?

As Dave said any questions don't be shy, ask.

haha youngest member. A bit surprised to hear this but nevertheless a good learning place I guess. Don't worry about asking, I will.

Thanks for the kind welcome

Jeroen

Actually, no worries Jeroen, I'm sure you're not the youngest member. A few others come to mind, but I don't want to single them out...

[The Blue Boy]

A priceless moment. Even our beloved leader is prone to the odd typo...

Singe them, no lets burn them! Being young! With ideas! Grab the pitchforks and torches!

Well that's me sacked.

Welcome from another newcomer also

Hello All,

I guess I'm introducing myself here First, I wan to say that the information on this site is fantastic. I've visited many times and it has become a trusted source for me. THANK YOU.

I'm a professional photographer, all digital at this point, and yet I have so much to learn.
Please feel free to visit my two sites for an introduction to my commercial and personal work:

Ok, now I need to go post a question.

Cheers,
Alec

[Dave Humphries]

Welcome Alec and Pavankumar,

I hope you both get a lot out of the forums, this is best achieved by joining in with say, the weekly photo challenges or other ad-hoc threads. If you've any questions, a quick search is advisible, but if that fails, just ask away.

Look forward to seeing your posts,

[Wirefox]

Hello all at Cambridge in Colour. This is an excellent site and ideal for me as I getting back into SLR photography. I started many moons ago on an Olympus OM2n. When digital started to become affordable I purchased a DSC S50 and later progressed to a Fuji Film S7000 (a very serviceable point and shoot). I have just treated myself to a Canon 450D and I am currently trying to find my way around that. If I post some decidedly dodgy images you will have to forgive me and I welcome ny criticism any of you may have to offer

[The Blue Boy]

Wirefox, welcome mate.

You've posted an image of a cat in another thread. Now for me it won't load for some reason. It's taking an absolute age. Yes 'tis friday night and all that but I'm wondering where your host is?

[Wirefox]

Chelseablue. A Chelsea fan in Manc??? Do they know

Thanks for the welcome. I have some old stuff on Flickr. I posted a link in response to your query on the B/W thread.

[Dave Humphries]

Welcome Wirefox,

Do you have a first name we can use?

So, you're an ex-Fuji chap?
I'm itching to upgrade to proper a DSLR, I took some low light hand held shots today and although pleasantly surprised that most are sharp (even without IS) at between 1/5 and 1/30 second, the noise at 800ISO is attrocious. Don't get me wrong, it is a very versatile camera and has done well by me, but ...

Thanks,

[Dave Humphries]

Welcome also to Vidyadharan,

Do post a few pictures when you can, what are you using?

If you have any questions, don't be shy, ask.
