Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

[JPS]

Hi from Toronto Canada!
I am looking for an environment that helps me learn about photography. I have had a photo business that was profitable and had a diverse customer base. I am interested in producing better images out of the camera, and simplifying my life. My style is that of a photojournalist.
Currently using a d300s and lenses, an Olympus M5 and a travel zoom camera. One or the other is always with me.

Hi there Marco, welcome to CiC. I'm sure you will enjoy this site, it is a great place to learn and talk to others with the same interest.
Don't forget to add your name and a rough lacation to your profile (showen on the left); most people use first names on this site and it will stop members from keep asking in future post.

Once again it's nice to have you join us.

Hello everyone. I'm Kelly, I'm twelve years old, and I live in Ohio. I just joined today after looking at some of the info on this site. It has really helped with my science fair project (Using a Digital Camera to Measure Skyglow). I have been taking photos since I was six, and my father is an amateur photographer.

Hi Kelly,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us.

You mentioned your father is an amateur photographer too - can we gain another new member in your family?
Or perhaps he's already here.

Is that skyglow meaning the light pollution from towns and cities?

Well I've asked loads of questions and that's your job really, so if you have any, don't hesitate to ask, ideally in the relevant forum to attract more replies, rather than here. (although we can always move it if need be)

All the best,

Hi Scott,
Welcome to CiC.
If learning is your goal, you couldn't have come to a better place; great tutorials and knowledgeable members willing to offer guidance and help.
I look forward to seeing your work and getting to know you better over the coming weeks.

[stelin]

I thought I'd say "hi" as well. I joined up after reading some of the excellent tutorials.
I love photography although I am fortunate in that I don't have to make my living from it, which means I can shoot what I want, when I want, without any pressure.
I don't smoke or drink, but am addicted to Canon gear!
I look forward to sharing, posting, commenting and above all, learning.

Hello all,

I found the tutorials and they helped me a ton. When I saw the forum button I started lurking a little and finally decided to sign up. I've been playing with 35mm for a few years, but honestly didnt know much besides shutter speed and ISO. I've received a hand me down Canon Rebel XT from my GF's dad and it has been awesome for learning and practicing. Im very open to critisism. Thanks to CiC ive learned a lot more and hope to keep learning and start taking better photos.

Steven,
Welcome to CiC from me.
I too am a Canon fan, so relate to your 'addiction' to Canon gear.
Sometimes the best Photography is taken when there is no pressure; but sometime it helps.
I look forward to seeing your picture.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Paul, I am from Brisbane Australia and I am currently doing a Diploma in Photography (started last week) and found this forum today and it has already helped me to understand a few things i wasn't getting so Thanks heaps already anyway just a quick Hello as I am still studying and have to get back to it

[Ollokot]

Hello Paul and Welcome,

[JimFred]

Hello,
My name is Jim, and I just joined CIC yesterday. I am a retired factory worker from Ohio, and I have a passion for photography, although a lot of the technical aspects seem way over my head. My main love is for Landscapes and animals, but I will shoot anything if I think I can create a reasonably good picture. What I try to present, on Flickr, or any other sharing site, is something that looks very natural with just a little spice added. That is why I love to use Topaz Adjust and Topaz Simplify in editing, where I can add detail and contrast, while staying below the HDR mark. I do toy with HDR from time to time though. I plan on reading a lot of threads here, so I can better understand how to get the best shots possible. I would like to thank my good friend Sharon ..aka Daisy Mae.. for introducing me to this wonderful site.

[Daisy Mae]

I am very glad you could join us Jim, it's a really friendly place and you will be made most welcome.

You are one of the few photographers I know who can judge the use of HDR and not become tempted to 'overcook' the picture.

[JimFred]

Thank you, Sharon. I have 'Overcooked' a few in my time. LOL.

[markfay]

Welcome Paul, ah HDR - a revolution if used sparingly! I like topaz too but use Nik more often.

[Flyfisher]

So I want to salute you and give a friendly hand shake to all
