Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

[Chalybeateman]

Hello, my name is James. I live on The Little Satilla River in Camden County Georgia. We are near Brunswick, St. Simons and Jekyll Island. I love photography and video. I am 70 now so I have been doing it for awhile. I am here to see good pictures and learn any new things.

[Donald]

Thanks...ah, I am not too young, just 63. But it is never late to learn.

I am 40 years old.

I am 70 now ....

That's a reasonable spread right there.

Welcome to each of you. Thank you for deciding to join CiC. I hope it proves a useful, informative and fun online resource in which you can indulge and improve your photography.

What I ask is, so that you don't continue to get people asking you what your proper name is, because most us use that on here, you go to Edit Profile (under 'Forum Actions' on the Menu Bar), or you can just press on 'Settings' on the menu bar right up at the top right of the window. Once there you can enter the name by which you wish to be addressed 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.

Please do jump in with your questions, pictures etc.

If you ever need any help in getting images posted into your message, then please do read the helpful guide that walks you through how to do it. Click HERE to read the thread.

Something else you might find useful. Sometimes people are not sure about asking for comments and criticism on their images. This thread gives you some helpful advice and guidance about how to get the best feedback from fellow members.

[mikemck]

Hi my name is Mike and I live in North Beach, MD, USA, near Washington, DC. I am retired and trying to return to photography. I have been shooting one thing or another for 60 years and some of the shots actually turned out very nicely. I would like to determine just how that happened so that I can repeat it.

Getting a little behind here, but a warm welcome to those who've joined up in the last 23 hours, or so.

Sharon - I hope that CiC does prove to be a helpful resource and that you'll come in with any questions you may have that need answered. There's always someone on here willing to help.

If you wish you can go to Edit Profile and put in your location, so that it appears in the sidebar alongside your message, just like mine beside this message. Then everybody knows where everybody else is.

...trying to return to photography.

Just like many of us have done, Mike. I hope you enjoy being involved in this forum

Hi Guys ,
My name is Peter , I'm originally from Anglesey but have been living on Skye for nearly 26 years .
Up until a couple of years ago I'd never had a proper hobby , so I bought myself a Nikon F80 , then due to a long standing problem with my back I had to leave work [ I took voluntary redundancy ] , with some of the money I bought myself a Nikon D7000 which I was using just on ' Auto ' for around 6 months , fell very ill with sepsis , nearly died , but was in hospital for 3 months .
Six months after leaving hospital the enthusiasm for photography has returned , I've joined a local Camera Club , been to just one meeting so far but I'm really looking forward to it and learning all about the Art of Photography .
I'm at the bottom of the class but I'm willing to learn , and this is why I've joined your Photography Forum , I'm looking forward to reading what everyone has to say .
Cheers ,
Peter .

Peter - A fine place ... especially the bar of the Caley Hotel in Portree after a shinty match (that was in my shinty playing days ... many years ago!)

Great to have you here, Peter. I hope you find that CiC does help you learn and develop your photographic knowledge and skills. It certainly aims to be an online resource that does provide that help. The forum is a palce for discussion, debate, questions and answers and I hope you find that there are many people more than willing to share their experience.

Hi, searching for information on why my D7000 won't bracket.
When in CMS, Bracketing/flash e5 is not highlighted, but shows A/flash.
Move and held down, popup shows, "not an option available at this setting"
Push bracketing button and nothing comes up on the screens.

In realtion to your question, I have copied this into the 'Digital Cameras & Equipment' section of the forum where it will be seen by more people able to provide and answer than are likely to see it in here.

Hi,

Just joined. I'm very interested in understanding colour so I can improve my photos using Apple Aperture. I've also got a programming background and might be tempted to make some plugins or small programs to help my understanding of colour and how you can alter it. The other techniques such as sharpening etc also interest me too.

Thanks,

Gav.

Joined CiC couple of days ago, but this is my first post.

I am from Dallas, Texas (USA) and primarily use Sony camera bodies: A55 and NEX-3. The former is primarily used with its native A-mount lenses many dating back to the 1980s. The latter is used with a few native lenses, and A-mount lenses (via LA-EA2 adapter, and manual lenses from various mounts.
