Giuseppe,
Welcome to CiC, it is good to have such an experienced photographer join.
I look forward to seeing more of your work and hope you can find the time to help and advise the less experienced members.

It's great to have you with us.

Hi all, I'm an oldy professional photographer in Mexico, I actually do some architectural photography (wwww.franciscolubbert.com & www.publicararquitectura.com) and fashion catalogs 3 times a year for a local customer (www.ambrosiitaly.com). Business is no more near what it used to be, so I am getting involved into adapting cameras to use in iridology as a new activity and the results do raise much interest.

I'll have to take the time to review most of this place, at first sight it looks quite nice.

Hi Francisco,
welcome to CiC. You are correct this is a very nice site and we look forward to seeing your work. I too like architectural photography so will be interested in your posts.

kind regards
John

Great to have you here. I understand there's some sort of sports event on in your home town at the moment!

I hope you will join in the discussions. Everyone's view on here is welcomed and respected. It's not one of those forums where you get berated if you don't seem to know enough. That's why, I think, it's such a good learning resource. People can come in and ask there questions knowing they are not going to be told they should already know the answer.

So, I hope you will use your knowledge and experience to help others learn, as well as gaining new knowledge yourself.

By the way, 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.

Steve,
Welcome to CiC, this is a great place to learn and I sure one of our members will be able to help you with your Nikon. I would suggest you post one of your pictures and let us know what you are happy with and what your not, then we can start to help you. Also don't forget this site has some great tutorials, well worth a read.
As I always say "you only get out of a forum what you put in" so get posting my friend and enjoy the experience.
I look forward to seeing your work.

Hi - I'm Gordon, born in Scotland, moved to New Zealand at age 2, been here ever since. I'm a fitter at Kiwirail Woburn Workshop in Hutt Valley. Just getting back into (very amateur) photography after purchasing a Canon EOS 600D. I'm really just a point-and-shoot guy albeit with a strong interest in experimenting with and learning absolutely everything photographic!

[JPS]

Hi Gordon,
a very warm welcome to CiC from me.
This site has good tutorials and the members are more than willing to help and advise you on how to improve your pictures.
I look forward to see your work and talking to you further over the coming weeks.

Hey Rivka - my name is James - new member, and looking through the posts I noticed you are from Chico - that's where I am from also - small world. I would imagine you have a lot more opportunities for photography than we do here (unless of course you like rice and almonds Anyhow, hope you enjoy the site

[DeepWater]

Hey everyone - My name is James, and I just joined so thought I would introduce myself. I stumbled across this site by accident, but glad I did. I am currently shooting a Nikon d300 - just moved up from a d200 so still getting used to the differences. I shoot a variety of subjects, but mostly nature photography. Would love to get into shooting people, but don't have the budget or the skills, so at least for now I guess I will stick to things that don't require a model release

Hi Everyone,
My name is Don, have used and recommended this site for years as an educational reference but never thought about the forums. But, they look engaging so I'm in for a spin. Hail from the Greater Chicago area, have my roots in Pittsburgh PA though. Enjoy most genre's and seem to go through phases. Been shooting about 5 years, and love it. At a cross roads in my development where I really need to focus on continual improvement. Have become a little complacent along those lines.

[Donald]

i have a Canon 40D

Obviously another highly intelligent and discerning photographer!

Hello Julie and a very warm welcome to CiC. Thanks for joining. I hope you enjoy it and that we'll see some of your work being posted as well as you joining in the discussions.

Hey everyone - My name is James, and I just joined so thought I would introduce myself.

There area lot of people on here who are very willing to share knowledge and experience in order to help others develop their skills and abilities. So, as well as you learning, I hope you will share your knowledge with folks. CiC is that sort of forum.

By the way, 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'.
