Hello everyone, my name is Patrick and I'm an American living in Madrid for the past 5 years. I discovered this site through a recommendation and after reading some tips and browsing the forums decided that I'd like to be a part of this talented and friendly community. I have a lot to learn since I've just started to get serious about photography but I think I'm in the right place. The member pictures featured on the forum are incredible! What an inspirational set of pics! I hope to learn a lot from this community, thanks for having me.

Hello Patrick, and I do hope you find that you are indeed in the right place. As you've seen, the willingness of poeple to share knowledge and experience is a hugely important part of what CiC is about. So, please get right in there with your questions, commentt and, of course, images.

[Donald]

It is my hope that I can get some insight here from people who might just know a little bit more than I do to make my photos better!

Hello Jim. Helping you get that insight (as well as being a place where you can share ideas with fellow enthusiasts) is the reason for CiC's existence. So, if you have any questions, please do ask them.

I hope you enjoy being part of the forum.

Hello Bill and welcome to CiC. I'm very glad you found us and hope that you find the site both a useful and enjoyable resource to use.

I notice that the image you included didn't show up. You had somehow lost the [/IMG] tag at the end. I've put it on.

[annamaica]

My name is Anna. I'm originally from Germany, but have been living in Jamaica for 14 years and part-time living in Flrorida for the last 3 years. I've always been a dedicated hobby photographer on my many travels, but only after winning the 2011 annual Las Olas Photo Contest - which earned me a one month solo exhibition in a Fort Lauderdale gallery - have I started to take a more formal approach to photography. In the past most of my photos were lucky trial and error "out of the belly" shots. Now I know, there's still a lot to learn - which is exciting. I recently upgraded my old hybrid Fuji camera to a Sony Alpha a33 dSLR - which is an exciting learning object, too.

To all you folks who have joined CiC and said hello in this thread - welcome. Great to have you here. I've been away over the weekend and not been able to check on who's been signing up.

I hope each of you enjoys being part of this forum and get out of it whatever you hope for.

CiC is certainly a place for learning. And that means those of you with knowledge and experience hopefully sharing it for the benefit of others, as well as, hopefully, you also learning from what you read and see on her.

I notice that Brian and Julian have put their names and locations into their profile so that they appear alongside their posts. Anna and Jerry - You can do the same by going back into Edit Profile from the 'Forum Actions' tab on the menu bar above.
