Aloha from Hawaii,

Just wanted to come and take a look at everyone's photos for inspiration and fun.

[Colin Southern]

Hello Colin,
Thanks for the welcome. I work with my dad in a small family fishing business. Crabbing in Southeast Alaska, on a 36 foot boat. It gets hard to get good shots when the boat starts rolling.

Hi Mike,

So you're a genuine "deadliest catch" kinda guy! (it's all the rage out here at the moment). I do a lot of my computer work on factory trawlers here in Nelson New Zealand. About all you can do on a rolling boat is keep the shutterspeed as high as possible.

Raghu - Hello and welcome. I'm just up the road from you in Perthshire. Great to have another Scottish-based member on board.

I hope you've already seen that CiC is very much a learning community, the strength of which is the quality of the help and support that is on offer, both in the tutorials but also here in the forum.

So, I hope you feel able to participate through asking lots of questions, joining in discussion and, of course, posting up your images.

Do you have any particular subject interests; e.g. people, landscapes, cityscapes, etc.?

Hi, my name is Maria. I was born in Spain and moved to London 14 years ago. I recently decided to become a photographer rather than living with the regret -aiming to make a living out of it-.
There are lots of fantastic photographers out there -I see many on this site- and I want to become one ...
I have a website too www.mariaramil.com so there is some more info about me there.

Hi, my name is John, and I am from the Panhandle Coast of Northwest FL. I love taking pictures in Black and White, which I understand is old school and not as accepted as the Photoshop or colored photos. I have been able to combine two of my passions which are riding my motorcycles across country and taking pictures along the way. I love bridges, old buildings and the odd shots.

Hi John,

Welcome to CiC. I wasn't sure from what you wrote - are you shooting B&W using digital, or film?

Have you seen our monochrome mini-comppetitions? Lots of great B&W work there.

I am annalyn newbie in this community..

[mariaramil]

Hi Colin,
Thanks for having me here.
I am looking forward to finding out. I am still setting up and haven't started doing commissions yet, so ... fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I am doing my best to learn fast and get the right things in place (insurance, advice, a better camera etc). The main thing, though, is getting the right people around me to keep myself motivated.
The rest I will leave to fate
Cheers

hello there

I am annalyn newbie in this community..

Annalyn - A very warm welcome. Thank you for joining CiC.

We know your name. But where are you?

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. And you have used your rela name as your username, just like me. Did you know you can also 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.

CiC is very much about helping people learn and develop photographic skills. So plese ask any questions that you have.

[Donald]

My main interest is old rusty, dirty stuff to photograph.

Wonderful. Lots of mood and atmosphere. Love it.

Welcome, Joe. Great to have you here.

Delighted, also, to hear that the D5000 is now off auto (never to be put back on, I hope). The elarnign curve is pretty steep, but teh journey can be great fun.

CiC is certainly here to help with that. As iot says on the home page, this is a learning community. There is no such thing as a dumb question and everybody is encouraged to post up any photographically-related questions. In fact, it's what a whole lot of people on here want to see, so that they can offer advice and guidance and share their knowledge. And there's an awful lot of knowledge and experience on here. So, please do join in.
