My full galleries are located at www.pbase.com/ruilopes and www.ruilopes/smugmug.com From now on, I´ll try to contribute either posting some of my pictures and also sharing my experiences and learn from the great tutorials António told me about. Best Regards to all of you. Rui

Rui, I also told you about the great and nice people you will find/meet here. :)

I know you are going to be very pleased to be around. :)

Bem vindo ! ;)

Hello everyone! This site is truly wonderful. The only one other site I have visited regularly and read with interest and respect is that of Ken Rockwell. This is the second site I am certain to visit often - I went to Cambridge for postgraduate work, spent among the best years of my life there, and truly love the incredibly good, technical and artistic photographs posted! To me, photography is not an "interest" but a passion! God bless Cambridge Photography Gallery - all you wonderful people who make this site truly great. THANK YOU!

Hi all,

My brother put me onto this site, and I'm glad he did as the tutorials are sensational.

I shoot mostly video, but have been mucking around with my wife's Olympus E-520 and have just bought a Canon 550D (again, mainly for video) which I hope to get some use out of to improve my stills.

Hi "BlackHuey",

and welcome to the site :)

We get a lot of positive feedback regarding the tutorials - all written by our site owner Sean "McQ".

What's your "connection" with the Iroquois? (I flew on our RNZAF UH-1 models a few times back in my Air Force days).

Hi Pedro - a big CiC welcome from me. Great to have you with us!

Hi Colin and thanks for the welcome.

I did in fact do some time on the Aussie UH-1H during my short stint in AAAvn. Thirteen years later, I can still smell it if I close my eyes. It will always be my first love :)

Ah yes - they were a grand old girl for many a years. Unfortunately the RNZAF crashed one a few weeks ago, killing 3 out of 4 onboard.

Life - stressful? Nah! won't hear of it. Welcome to the laid-back chilled-out forum.

This sounds very good to me :)

Hi Charms,

A big welcome to CiC from me. We'd love to see your photos - but you'll have to post some first :)

Just sing out if you need a hand to do that.

Hi everyone - this is my first ever post on any forum!

I've had a love affair with photography since high school and last year bought my first DSLR and falling in love all over again. Thought I'd join a forum to grab some tips and techniques. My husband is an underwater videographer and raves about the support he gets through these things.

See ya!

An underwater videographer, eh? I bet that's a conversation-stopper at parties! Nice work.

Welcome to Cic. Post some shots?

Hi Pedro,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have another passionate member joining our community.

What sort of things do you like to photograph?

Best regards,

Hi there,

Is there any chance we could have a first name to call you - how about "Hughie" or just "Hugh" if your shy and don't want to reveal your real name :)

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist, as you'll soon discover, we like to keep things fairly light hearted around here, no offence or disrespect is intended.

Love the pics in your photostream, definitely want to expand there, are those shot by yourself or 'the missus'?

Cheers,

Hello all,
Brand new to these forums.

I'm Dan, a 20-something from the south east united states that is returning to photography and cinematography after a long hiatus. I was briefly involved with B&W 35mm film art during my high-school years (shooting on a simple N75 with Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film, rarely color). I have recently (May, 2010) purchased a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and a few lenses to boot.

I'm trained in Computer Science, and have just graduated with a BSCS from Georgia Tech. Having reached a happy point in that field, I've been meaning to expand and explore other areas as I move into the computing industry (and hopefully moving out of it just as quickly!).

I'm looking forward to all the learning I have in front of me, and have found this forum via the online tutorials, which have been beyond amazing in writing and formatting. They're all to clear to understand and just enough technically for me in my position. I'd like to personally thank the authors and hope to contribute one day.

That's about it, if you'd like to discuss anything, let me know.

Cheers.

Hi Dan

Welcome on board. At '20-something' you'll find you are, chronologically, at the younger end of the spectrum hereabouts. But in terms of attitudes and outlook, you're right in there (someone got it wrong and I really wasn't born in 1955).

Sean is the guy responsible for the tutorials. The rest of us pitch in here to try and help the experienced and not-so-experienced. You'll find it very, very informal, but, I think, hugely supportive.
