Hi all,
A newbie here. Bought my d7000 kit about a month ago. previously been hijacking my friend's d90
Apologies in advance if i upset anyone with my newbie questions.

The one thing I think it is impossible to do on CiC is to upset anyone with 'newbie' questions. Asking questions is one of the best ways to learn. And CiC is very much about learning and helping people to learn.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you will enjoy being part of it.

Nick - What have you got? Is it a lovely Canon .... or one of those other things!?

Great to have you here and thank you for joining. Glad that you feel you're already learning from CiC. I hope that continues.

Please do use the site to your benefit and come in with whatever photography-related questions you have. There will always be someone on here who will provide an answer or offer an opinion.

Zeenat - Hello and a very warm welcome to you.

I hope you will find that being part of this forum does help you learn and allows you to develop skills to help you improve your photography. There are many people who are members who have considerable knowledge and experience and are very willing to share that with others.

In order to help others know where you are from, and if you wish to do so, you can go the the Edit Profile area of the forum and, in there, enter your location so that appears alongside each of your posts, underneath your name, just as in my details alongside this message. Then we all know where everyone is in the world.

Hello,
I stumbled on this site somewhat by accident, and I love the look and feel of it. I have been photographing for many years, and I need something to get me inspired again. I have albums all over the web, most notable at edfleet.zenfolio.com. I look forward to exploring this site, and perhaps entering some of the competitions.

Betty - We're not fussy how you got here. It's just great that you are. A very warm welcome.

I hope, as you see more of the forum and explore the tutorials, that you're able to tell yourself that it is the sort of place you want to stay involved with.

It is very much about exchanging views, opinions, knowledge and experience ... and having good fun as well. It's all pretty informal but, as I hope you'll experience, respectful and a bit more 'mature' than some of the more outlandish forums that you can bump into.

So, please do join in.

Hello to all,

my name is luis and I live in Madrid. I like photography, I am not a professional and I do not live on photography but who knows...?, for the moment I work with computers and still having fun from them. I can see that there is plenty of material to read and learn, it seems I am not going to get bored . Have a nice day.

One of the things I am most impressed about the community of this site is how global it is. Photography is loved and practiced by people world wide. Very cool!

Hi Yep,

Trying the upload again.

[Fiona]

Hello,

I have just been taking pictures without the AF for several months now and I am reading everything I can. The tutorials are great and easily understood. I have not long purchased a new 8-16mm lens trying to get away from my Canon 75-300mm lens to try new areas to find out what I enjoy the most.

Speak soon

Fiona

Hello All!

I am an amateur photographer and saw some amazing stuff here and some useful advice. I hope to learn new things as I work on my new hobby. I really like some of the super-close up shots and I'm focusing on shots like that for my portfolio. Nice to meet you all!

Hi Saumyadip,

Welcome to CiC - it's great to have you with us.

Love you too, but would be REALLY great if you could avoid using "text-speak", ("u" instead of "you", "regardz" instead of "regards", "4" instead of "for" etc) as it make the posts very hard to read for us old-timers
