A very warm welcome to each of you. I hope you enjoy being part of CiC and that it provides what you are looking for from an online forum. CiC is veryh much about learning. We all can learn from others, but also help others to learn. So I look forward to your participation.

Hi Everyone

I'm Steven. I live in Chigwell, Essex, UK. I own a Canon 5D and taken nearly 10,000 photos with it since I bought it in 2007. I love the hobby and continue to try to improve my photography, especially using CS5 with Raw's, although of course I always aim for a perfect photo that needs no adjustments :)

How do you attach a signature to your posts? Can't see this in the Profile Settings page.

Best Regards...Steven, Chigwell, UK

First thing - I don't think you're allowed to add a signature until you've made 5 (or maybe it's 10) posts.

The other procedural thing is that you might want to add your proper name into 'Real Name' in Edit Profile so that it shows up in the bar alongside your location.

Anyway, a warm welcome. I hope you enjoy being part of CiC and that it helps you on your pathway of continuous learning.

Many thanks Donald. I now have an aim of 10 posts or more :)

Hi I'm Cheryl and I live in the Boston area. I'm teaching myself photography and have learned a lot from this site. I'm hoping to get some feedback on my work here, and get some questions answered. It's hard finding photographers willing to help out and this forum seems like a great place!

Hello Cheryl. Great to have you here.

I hopt that beiong part of the forum delivers all that you want. I'm pretty confident that you will find lots of people more than willing to help and advise.

Since most of us use our real names on here, you might want to add your proper name into 'Real Name' in Edit Profile so that it shows up in the bar alongside your location.

Hi Cheryl,
welcome to CiC, it's great to have you with us.:)

You will find lots of Photographers here willing to help you and the tutorials are very good.
Hope you enjoy the site and continue to learn.

Thanks John! I'm already completely confused on how to use this forum, so once I figure this out I'll try and ask some photography related questions. Is there a tutorial on this site for using the forums? ;)

Hi new Member here
More into the fetish side of photography have a few models male and female who I take pics of, do not have use of a studio so its all done at my home or where the model feels comfortable.

Hey guys! I'm from Los Angeles, and I stumbled on the site looking for quick tips on an 1100D. I read through a couple of the tutorials and found them to be extremely helpful, so I signed up!

Other than shooting pics of my 3yo daughter and 5yo bullmastiff on my smartphone, I'm a complete rookie in photography. I just got the Rebel T3 in the mail yesterday, and am really eager to start using it especially during Thanksgiving break. I'd like to learn how to shoot candid photos and landscape.

Thank you!!

I checked the FAQ section and I still cannot figure out how to start a new thread so I can ask a question. I can see the reply to thread button but I don't want to ask my own question in someone else's thread. please help. Thanks!

Hi Cheryl. It's because you are in the middle of a thread:) Click on Forum near the top of the page, then select the forum you want like General Photography Discussion. Click on that and you'll find the Post New Thread button near the top of the page. Good luck!

Hi Tom,
Welcome to CiC,
I can understand why you like shooting landscapes went you come from such a beautiful part of the country.
I look forward to seeing your work and talking to you further over the coming weeks.
