Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

[margaret]

hello, i'm margaret and i live in virginia.
i really, really like photography, it allows me access to parts of myself i could never reach otherwise.
i have no fracking clue what im doing, but i keep doing it.
sometimes it's intuitive...sometimes it's counter-intuitive.

i have a couple of kids who are grown, a very spoiled cat, a house that needs new gutters and a silly car.
i travel whenever i possibly can, mostly alone as i am a solitary sort.

thanks for letting me join the forum.

hello, i'm margaret and i live in virginia. ... thanks for letting me join the forum.

Margaret - Thank you for joining. Cats, gutters and cars aside, I hope you have time to enjoy being part of CiC and that it helps you develop your knowledge and skills in photography.

And I hope we can help you start working out what it is your doing - to do more of the 'good' things and fewer of the things that don't work.

Hello. How do you wish to be addressed? Derick?

Anyway, it's good to have you here. Welcome.

Hi everyone,

[LTPhotos]

Hi, everyone, I'm Lynn from Illinois. I've been photographing for about 6 years and now have a Canon Rebel T1i (bottom of the line DSLR). I am a member of various photography meetup groups and hope to expand the depth and breadth of photography experience by sharing with others, like you do here on these forums.

Hi there,
Sorry to bother you with what is probably a very simple matter. I can follow your directions for how to post a picture but so far I have not found the start screen where I can push the first button you suggest.

Hi everyone,

Hello

It would be great to know your name and where you are. 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. 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.

Hi, everyone, I'm Lynn from Illinois.

Hello Lynn, and welcome to CiC. Thank you for deciding to join.

As I hope you've seen, CiC is very much a forum for exchanging ideas and views, all with the aim of helping people develop knowledge and skills. So, I hope you pitch right in with questions, contributions and, of course, images.

So that you don't continue to get people asking you what your proper name is, because most us use that on here, 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.

Hello Fred. Excuse my ignorance, but where is Saint-Martin? On the subject of which, 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. Did you know 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.

I hope you enjoy being part of CiC and that it proves helpful in helping you develop your photographic skills.

Hi

I've been receiving your tutorials via email for some time and have decided to finally join. I'm quite new to photography and this looks like a great place to learn a lot.

I am South African but currently live in Shenzhen, China where my wife and I are teaching English.

Paul - Hello and a very warm welcome.

I'm very glad that you've decided to sign up and become a 'fully-fledged' member of CIC. I hope you do indeed find the site (forum and tutorials) to be a good place to learn. Certainly, the knowledge and experience of people on here who very willing to share that, is the perfect complement to the tutorials.

I look forward to you active involvement in the forum.

Hello, I'm Dave.

I started taking photos in the early 1960s but stopped in the mid '80s. A couple of years ago I entered the digital photography world with a Panasonic FZ28. It is a great camera but after a while I wanted a camera that was more like the SLR I had from years ago, so recently I bought a Pentax K5 (my old SLR was a Pentax and I have a few old K mount lenses).

I live in London but am lucky enough to spend a lot of time in NW Scotland.

My main photographic interest is landscape photography.

Regards

Dave

[laudesan]

Cheers all.

My name is JJ. I am an artist and photographer. I have been making art all my adult life, and taking photos for as long. Only recently I decided I need to learn how to use my digital slr camera properly as I am missing out on so much by only using the auto settings.

I look forward to interacting with you all..

[Donald]

... but am lucky enough to spend a lot of time in NW Scotland.

You lucky, lucky person! Where, Dave? That's home for me, although I now live down in Perthshire.

Anyway, welcome to CiC. Glad you've found us. I hope CiC helps you get the best out of that Pentax and that you enjoy being part of the forum for a long tome to come.
