Hello,
I am Teresa from Erie, Colorado. I just recently started becoming obsessed with my photography hobby and am trying to learn and improve. I am very impressed with the photos everyone on CIC has posted and only hope to come near to that level of skill some day!! I may even get up the nerve to post one of my photos one day. :-)

Hi Teresa,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us.

Don't leave posting the first image too long because you'll learn more, and much quicker, by posting a few less than perfect ones initially.

What are you shooting with?

Cheers,

Hello!
I'm Linda from Kentucky, USA. My fledgling photography hobby started just over a year ago with the purchase of my first DSLR camera...a Canon EOS Rebel T2i. A few months later I bought my first telescopic zoom lens and to date, that's the extent of my equipment! I love practicing on my 8 grandchildren, and the flowers and birds in my back yard. I photographed my sister's wedding in May as a favor and was pretty pleased with most of the outcome, though the lighting was a challenge for a beginner with little equipment. I work full time and don't have the time I wish I did to practice and learn, so I look for tutorials that are easy to comprehend and to the point. I edit with free Picassa and the $25 version of Picnik as I can't yet afford Photoshop. Lightroom is next on my wish list.

Hi Linda,

Plenty of subjects then with a large family

Look forward to seeing some shots for critique, or ask any questions, and we'll do our best to help.

Location updated. I'm in Cambridge in the UK.
I take far too many pictures of my cats but apart from that I try to capture anything that looks interesting.

Thanks for the welcome Dave! I have a Canon Rebel XTi.

hello world
I am a panorama photographer - my first 360 degree image dates from 2006 under the guidance and advice of my dear friend Dorin.
The domain of panoramic photography was and continues a magic place to experiment trying achieve ever better results
in 2009 I had the chance to organize the international Panotools Meeting, where many fellow panographers visited Timisoara. Afterwards we had a memorable trip -

Welcome to CiC. There are a number of people on here who enjoy making panoramic images who, I am sure, will be very interested in discussing the subject further with you.

I hope you enjoy being part of this forum.

Hello,
Been lurking around here as an unregistered member for awhile and now since I finally got my hands on a d7000, I thought it would be appropriate to become a community member.

I look forward to discussing photographic topics.

Hello there. If you've been lurking around, hopefully you've picked up a good sense of what CiC is all about and how it works. So, I hope you'll feel able to get right in with questions, discussions and, of course, images.

Unless Arbess is your real name (and if so, I apologise), you've maybe seen that most of us tend to use our real names on here. It makes communication more friendly and CiC is that sort of site. You can go to Edit Profile and enter your proper name under 'Real Name'. Then it will appear underneath your Username in all your posts.

Hello Mike and welcome. I hope you're enjoying retirement. Bit of a b........ about the gear getting lifted.

Anyway, hopefully you've seen that CiC is very much about supporting people to learn and develop their photographic skills. So, if you have any questions, please do ask and, of course, post up images for discussion and comment - both are excelleent way to learn.

Greetings to all from San Diego ...

I read most of articles posted on the tutorials sections of this website - i have to say they were the most lucid and clear explanations i have read ! Obsessed with photography for 5 years but very recently made baby steps to move away from point & shoot. Purchased a Sony NEX 5N and getting ready to use it.

Hoping to learn a lot from the forum and its members ...

Hello from NZ,
I have been a point and shoot photographer for far too long, have challenged myself to understand the workings of upgraded camera and to have fun learning. Looking forward to sharing and learning as I come to grips with my new knowledge!

[Donald]

Hello and welcome to CiC. Please excuse me asking, but is DeolaGold your real name. You've maybe seen that most of us tend to use our real names on here. It makes communication more friendly and CiC is that sort of site. So, if DeolaGold is not your real name, you can go to Edit Profile and enter your proper name under 'Real Name'. Then it will appear underneath your Username in all your posts. You can also enter your location so that it does the same, just as in my details alongside this message. Then we all know where everyone is in the world.

Anyway, it's great to have you here on CiC. When you say 'your career', are you hoping to pursue photography on a professional basis?
