Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

[Donald]

The Tutorials (e.g., Natural Light in Photography) on this site made me stop, read and stay as they are the best I've seen so far.

A very warm welcome, Ken. I'm glad you like what you've read and I hope that being part of the forum adds to the usefulnes of the site

Before I get involve in Forums, can anyone suggest further reading material on the topic of solving problems with natural light, etc.?

I'd suggest that you do post this up in, say, the 'General Photography Discussion' section of the forum. People who might miss your question in here, will be more likely to see it there.

Great to have you here.

Hi everyone my name is Larry (Laza) for short, from South Africa now live in UK. I love photography, still new to it. I still like the auto button to much. I would like to learn much as possible. All advise welcome!!!

[Donald]

. I still like the auto button to much.

Oh dear! We need to wean you off that, Laza and get you onto the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Full Manual Modes, so that you start taking control of what the camera does, rather than the camera being left to make the decisions. It feels like a steep learning curve, but if I can do it, anyone can.

Great top have you here. I hope you enjoy it.

By the way - 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.

[Laza]

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!!

Thank you for the warm welcome. Before posting my question in Gen'l Photo Discussion I'll browse to make sure it hasn't been covered before.

Hello, hola,my name is Eliseo from Ontario, Canada. I have been taking photos for almost 50 years. I started with a Kodak Instamatic and then for some years I had a Zenith that was very hard on my fingers. I started to take this hobby more seriously 4 years and ago. Currently I have a couple of digital cameras Nikon and I am still learning how to make full use of them. I enjoy macro and portrait photography and I realize that there is so much I would like and need to learn to feel satisfied with the photos I take. By joining CIC I hope to continue and expand my learning from the tutorials and the comments from other fellow photographers.

I am Windy and I'm a baby gorilla photographer based in the USA. I like other opportunities to shoot wildlife as well. A friend of mine sent me the link to your web side and I'm impressed. I hope to chat with nice people and share some experiences and photos.

Hi Windy,

Welcome!

I don't think we've ever had a baby gorilla sign up with us before!

Hello "removebackground" and a warm welcome. It would be good to know a bit more about you and what kind of photography you enjoy.

This is a friendly place, and it would also be good if you could edit your profile to let everyone know whereabouts you are in world, and how you’d like to be known (in CiC terms your “real name” - removebackground is a bit long!). To do that, you click Settings (right at top), then Edit Profile (on left) and put your first name in the Real Name field and where you are (roughly) in the Location field. That way, your details will appear alongside all of your posts.

Hola, Joan, y bienvenido en CiC.

There are a few pretty old guys round here (including me!). I can't think of another member who specialises in sculpture, so I do hope that you will post some of your work for us to see.

To do that, you click Settings (right at top), then Edit Profile (on left) and put Joan in the Real Name field and maybe Santiago, Chile in the Location field (so that we know you are not in Santiago de Compostela!). That way, your details will appear alongside all of your posts.

Hello All, I am Dave from icy west central Minnesota. Newly retired and getting back into photography after dabbling in it off and on for the last 20-25 years. Always been a Nikon guy and currently shoot a D-90 and a D-600. I am hoping to pick up some tips to increase my skills and better my techniques. I found out that it takes more than just a decent camera to make a good photograph. My goal is to produce a good photograph on purpose instead of by accident. I am looking forward to the tutorials and threads to help me in my pursuit.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hello and welcome to the CiC forum. I hope you enjoy being involved and that being so does help you imporve your photographic knowledge and skills.

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 (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.

Always been a Nikon guy

That's okay, Dave. You're forgiven!!

Great to have you here and I hope that by being part of CiC you are able to get to the stage of producing the good pictures on a regular basis. People on here are always willing to share their knowledge and experience, so please do ask whatever questions you have.
