[KTHXBAI]

Hello Everyone,

I found this site and have been using it for some references to get re-acquainted with photography. I am from Pittsburgh PA and joining this site for some good criticism, help with editing, and well just the fun of it. I say re-acquainted as I was into photography in my collage years. I thought I had a knack for it but I got distracted along the way and well in those days you didn't have the immediate gratification like you do today !

As for what I'm using I have a D5000 with 200mm and 55mm some filters tripods etc. I am pretty fluent in photoshop for web design (www.michaelfarrand.com) dats me! Oh i know needs some updating. But please feel free to read it if you would like to know more about me.

I don't have any particular favorite type of photography. I just like a good picture.

Here is a picture I took a long time ago with film... that you devoloped, in a dark room. LOL Hope to hear from you all soon.

Hi all, my name is Karly, I have recently taken up photography and bought my first DSLR (a Canon 550D - LOVE IT) . I am taking a part time course in photography at my local uni tech and finding it very interesting and educational (also challenging). Im still trying to figure out what sort of photographer I am. I am enjoying portrait and social documentation at the moment but have been know to wake at 4am to get awesome sunrises too. Im also a keen dressage rider, owning and competing two horses of my own, so animals and wildlife photography interests me also.

Look forward to gettting to know this site and learning from all of you.

Hi, everyone in CiC!
I'm Adrian, from Penang, Malaysia.
got my 450D on Christmas 2009, and bought a 50mm f1.8 last month. I'm enjoy photography although I'm still have a long way to go!
Before I'm buying my 450D, I'm always followed the tutorials at CiC which I found is very useful for beginners!
Even now, I'm still sharing them with my friends on facebook! =) Hope to learn more from u guys here!

[ions]

Hi! I'm Chris. Hobbyist. Jumping from forum to forum trying to find one that will bring my photography to a higher level. I've found the tutorials on this site to be helpful and informative several times, until yesterday it hadn't occurred to me that the forum could prove so as well. So far it has.

I hope I am able to contribute positively and learn much. My flickr can be seen here.

Hi Nick, I doing a course with The photography institue. It is a 24week course but luckily they don't mind if you take longer, as I started back in June. I was going great up until November when I got so busy but now I am full steam ahead again. At the moment I'm up to lighting and found is forum a great place to help me with that.

Hi all, my name is Natalya and I live in the Vancouver area of British Columbia/Canada. I have recently upgraded to a Nikon D300s from a D80 and use Photoshop CS5 for editing my images. I started photography about 6 years ago when I joined a photo club. I am interested in nature photography and landscape, maybe macro in the future.
I don't know if I can contribute anything but I am sure I will be learning a lot. Any honest criticism and suggestions are welcome.

[anoldpup]

Hi everyone,
This is the first time I've joined a forum... so I'm not quite sure what to say!
I love photography & the fact that its the art of capturing a moment in time. My passion is landscape photography but I also enjoy architecture, travel & macro. I live in Gloucestershire, England and I'm fortunate to have some beautiful countryside on my doorstep. Sadly working full time means I don't get out as much as I like... but I'm working on it!

I'm sure I'll learn a lot from the forums & hopefully my photography will improve!

I'm certainly looking forward to reading lots of posts!

All the best
Alicia

[olamb]

hi all from New Zealand. I am new to photography (if you do not count the old P&S i had from school). I am trying to put together in a few months what some of you have taken years to achieve, so may end up asking some real stupid questions for my mistakes, but ask that you stand by and enjoy this with me.

I'm a Adv Paramedic retired but still lecturing, and approach photography with a philosophy of I know how to drive a car, but now I need to know how a car drives.

Please do not feelas if you are intruding to point out a thing or two, do it freely and I do respect that. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this community

Regards
