Hello Everyone,

My name is Venny Braun & am currently living in Dubai, UAE. Actually, it has been few months already since the first time I subscribed to this website but no chance yet to post even a single photograph nor introduce myself Anyway, I've read all of the tutorial which can improve both of my knowledge & photography technique. Recently, I am using Nikon D5000 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G & Sigma lens APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX HSM.
At last but not least, I would be glad to get some advise for you then

This picture "Dubai Fountain" was captured last Dec 2nd, 2010 at UAE National Day located in Dubai Mall.



Greetings from Dubai!,
Venny Braun

Hi Venny,

I edited your post to fixed a few tag issues and display the image in line.

It is always good to have a fellow D5000 owner join

However, if you'd like feedback on it, you do really need to post it in one of the ciritque forums;
Nature & Architecture
People & Pets
probably the first one, given the subject matter.
In general terms for best replies, it's always worth putting a couple of sentences together mentioning the shooting info and any problems you have already identified.

In terms of posting images, you'll find this thread helpful; HELP THREAD: How can I post images here?

Welcome to the CiC forums from ....

Hi, I'm Ken from northern California. I'm a tour operator for adventure travel which gets me to some great photo ops. I shoot digital, with a "prosumer" type camera. This suits my style and is excellent for travel, climbing etc.
Looking forward to learning more from everyone!

I can imagine that must indeed be the case. Welcome, Ken. Good to have you on board.

If you've been looking around the site you'll have an idea of how it works. If not, then please jump right in here. You'll find a lot of people keen to help and support others in their learning and who are happy to discuss all the points of picture-making.

[Ricardo]

Hi I'm Richard from NZ, living in Poland. I enjoy taking pictures and like more of the 'fine art' style, when I take pictures I try to look for unusual angles, texture, colour etc., etc., rather than pictures of dogs, cats and so on and so forth. Looking through some of the photos here, it seems to be within my style. I use the EOS 50D, which is a camera I like a lot.

Cheers

[Donald]

Richard

Hello and welcome

Just as a quick aside - if you want people to address you as Richard rather than Ricardo, you can go into 'Edit Profile' and put your proper name in under 'Real Name'. That way it will appear under your user name in all you posts.

Very glad you've decided to join in and I'm pleased to see that CiC might suit your approach to photography and your photographic interests. You will certainly find lots of people on here more than willing to share their thoughts, knowledge and experience all with the aim of helping colleagues develop their skills and abilities.

You've got a good tool there with the 50D. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

Hello, I love this site! Therefore I joined. I don't own a cameray yet, but I wouldn't mind a Hasselblad. Well, actually I do own a Kodak Instamatic (broken, and taken apart at 12 yr), a Nikkormat FT (broken during "combat" - it was really hard to break too), and a Nikon F80 that I've actually owned for the last seven or eight years, but never used! I don't consider those "owning" a camera. It has to be one that I'll actually use, and of those I've been using Nikon D40's trough D100's up the years, all borrowed from work, and lately I've dumped Nikon and fallen in love with Canon, particularly the 550D, the D7 and D5. I did also try at Hassleblad in a shop once, and nearly did something funny in my pants.

Neither would I. But ...................!

Anyway, welcome. Thank you for your comment about CiC.

You can edit your profile and under 'Real Name' insert your proper name. You'll have noticed that we do mostly use real names on this site - it makes things more friendly.

Good to have you here and, whilst you decide on your camera of choice, please do take part in the discussions.

Hello and welcome to CiC. That's a good introductory image you've put up (if you go to 'How to post images' in the help menu above you'll find out how to get them into the messages at a better size _ I've done it for you with this one).

CiC, as you've maybe seen already, is very much a place for learning and for sharing ideas. I hope you'll feel able to join in.

[Shwa2005]

Hello

With a budding passion for photography, I have found this great website and have enjoyed the tutorials, open forums, and witty banter! I'm a rare Oly and am always looking for some fellow dissenters - lol. Keep up the good work CiC. A little something to look at below...not to bad (I suppose) for a kit lens.

I finally found a thread that I like, now I'm able to improve even more. I am a ameature photography in the United States and it is basically what I do every day.

[Donald]

Josh - Very good for a kit lens ... and the person on the other side of it seems to know what he's doing as well! Good one.

Welcome to CiC. Great to have you on board. I'm glad you've seen the witty banter in action. No-one is allowed to get to carried away with their own importance on here and you'll have seen that amidst the light-hearted stuff is a massive pool of knowledge and experience that people are happy to share. So, please do dive right in and join the fun.

Canonman - Hello and thanks for joining CiC.

You've maybe seen that most of us tend to use our real names on here. It makes communication more friendly and CiC is that sort of site. Did you know you can go to Edit Profile and enter your proper name under 'Real Name'. Then it will appear underneath your Username in all your posts.

Glad you've decided to join. And please do ask any photography related questions you have and post up some images for comment.
