Hello everyone, I am Vee. I have been taking pictures of friends and family for years and finally decided to get serious about it. I am in the "Canon family", and own a Canon Rebel Xsi, Canon Rebel T3i and Canon PowerShot A3300. I love taking photographs and my goal is to get the camera to see what my heart sees.

Hi Vee,
Welcome to CiC.
I'm in the Canon camp myself and love what Canon camera's offer. I wish you the best of luck in achieving your goal; it won't be easy, if it was it wouldn't be worth aiming for.
Good luck and enjoy the forum.
John

Howard,
A big welcome to CiC from me and all the 'troops'
I hope you will learn from and enjoy this site; It sounds to me that you will also be able to help others with less experience than yourself. I hope you will be happy to help out wherever you can.
I look forward to seeing your pictures.
Cheers
John

Hello,
My name is Gary and I'm an American living in Thailand. Up to now I've only used point and shoot cameras and have a Panasonic Lumix FX36 and a Nikon Coolpix P100. However, I've decided to get more involved in photography so I've ordered, but not yet received, a Samsung NX300 with 18-55mm lens and an additional telephoto lens 50-200mm. I enjoy taking pictures of Thai life, Thai temples, old ruins such as Angkor Wat, and individual and group photos of whatever activities I find myself involved with. I will be returning to the USA in a couple of weeks and hope to breakin my new camera in Washington DC, Baltimore, Ohio, Las Vegas and California.

Gary,
Welcome to CiC.
I am looking forward to seeing your pictures from Thailand and the USA.

Hope you enjoy the forum.

Hello,
I'm Georgiana, from Bucharest, Romania. I've been fascinated with photography for a long time now, but I've only purchased my first SLR last year, well actually it was a gift from my parents. Marvelous gift, eh? I don't have a specific style right now, or maybe I do have but it's quite undefined. I love black and white photography, it's quite expressive, sometimes even more than colour. I love street photography, old buildings, ruins, portraits, I love nature shots, it's wonderful to trully see and observe the beauty that God has left on this earth.

Hi Georgiana,
Thank you for joining CiC it's great to have you with us.
Your parents certainly did give you a marvellous gift and I'm sure your own style will slowly come out over time.
Enjoy being a member and please post some pictures soon. I believe posting pictures and being involved is not only the best way to learn but the one that brings the most satisfaction.
Kind regards
John

Hi,
I am Micha, taking pictues for long almost 30 yrs. Still learning. Living in the US. I have a Nikon D300, 35mm,50mm,85mm & 105mm lenses. Love faces and theri expressions. Trying to learn more.

Hi Micha,
I don't believe any members would be brave enough to say they knew everything about photography; even after 30 years, so you are not alone.
Welcome to CiC have fun and post your pictures, we would love to see them.
Cheers
John

Hi everyone, my name is Kenny and am from Nigeria (actually based in Lagos, South West of Nigeria). I stumbled into CiC via a google search link while doing a little research on camera lenses and I was very impressed with the rather simple but absolutely comprehensive information sent out by CiC. Joining was therefore not a difficult decision for me to make after looking up other well articulated topics on photography as I signed up for the news-letters. I am into professional photography and I've got some really good experience with an eye for good shots, but it's also clear to me that CiC is ABSOLUTELY professional as well and therefore I can still learn some stuff to add to "what" I already know. I am really glad to join and I look forward to a fun-filled experience learning alongside other Pros. Thank you CiC for providing us all this platform to build upon!!!

Hi everyone, my name is Jason and I am a complete newbie to photography. I wanted to take pictures of my daughter cheerleading competitions and my in-laws bought me a Sony A57 DSLR camera and I am trying to learn how to use it and learn the tricks of the trade of photography too. I have been reading through the tutorials and playing with the camera to get an idea on settings and so forth. Thank you for all the free information.

Hi Jason,
Welcome to CiC, it's great to have you with us.
This is a great place to learn; in addition to the tutorials I would strongly advise posting some of your pictures and get some feed back from the members. This IMO is of great help in self improvement.
Enjoy the forum and site.
Kind regards
John

I hope you have a real name. Meanwhile I'll call you fluffy. I'll be in around your way in three weeks. Send me a pm and we might be able to met up. Maybe do a canal walk and get some shots . Or even get up into the Peaks. There are some great spots up there and not far from you. I'll be staying in Woodsmoore near Stockport. I'm also going to do a shoot in Longside and might need someone to ride shotgun for me. Are you game?

[fluffchucker]

Hi Tom
Yep, no problems in going out on location shoots
Buxworth, High Peak Canal and Lyme Park, Dunham Massey or Style Mill [National Trust] are good, as well as White & Dark Peaks.
Longsite or Levenshulme I never considered, especially on my own
PM me when you're ready

Hi,
My name is Ali and I live in Boston, Massachusetts. Photography has always been a hobby of mine. I have a Nikon P100 and recently got my first DSLR Canon T3. Most of the photos I take are of animals, wildlife and flowers. Look forward to the critiques and exploring all the forum threads and tutorials.

Hello All. My name is Robert from Westbay in Dorset. Found this site on a search for answers to questions i had/have/will have?? I enjoy photography especially car or bike racing. I use a Canon 60D with 2 standard lens and a fairly new Canon 100-400mm. Looking to develop my photographic skills so will be asking questions soon.

[Donald]

Robert - The day you stop having questions is the day to pack up photography. It's an ever-developing and evolving learning exercise. I hope that being part of CiC can help you both enjoy the journey and helps you on your way.
