Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

Good morning, at least it is here

I joined this rather august group to suck your brains of all things related to photography and PP
and maybe...impart a little of my own recently accumulated knowledge of the same.

My gear revolves around a Canon 1Ds Mk III and assorted "L" lenses with a current interest in macro.

I should warn you up front that my sense of humor is sometimes a bit warped.

Hi... My name is Harinder. I live in Chandigarh, India. I have always had an interest in photography, even though I never really like my picture taken of me. I use a Canon EOS 500D, which I am happy with. I mainly like to click nature, wildlife, monuments n many more. You can see my clicks on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/23709200@N03/.
Anything you would like to know, please feel free to ask.

Hi,
I am a new member. I live in Sydney, Australia on the Northern Beaches. I am very much an amateur photographer that is really excited about learning more. My ideal would be to take some excellent pictures to share on my blog with my family, friends and other viewers. My hobbies are food/cooking, wine, travel and people. I have a Canon EOS 450D but am looking to upgrade to a full frame sensor camera and some better lenses. Any advice is welcome!

Welcome to CiC, Rhett. At such a young age and with that sample of work I think you will go far with your photography. Thanks for joining us here. Hope you enjoy our community.

Hello!
My name is Bernardo and I'm an architect, I've been doing for the past two decades, mostly photography of construction sites, before, during and after, it's not artistic but it's fun.
With the DSLR event it became even more useful, mainly because one can see the full size picture on the computer screen and look for details which were only possible to visualize on a projection of a 35mm film slide (I did a lot of this).
Since the construction sites are a place where I usually carry a camera I had this idea of photographing workers, not easy do, the project is still on it's early stages.
I guess I'm joining because a have a lot to learn about DSLR photography.

I have a Nikon FM2 35mm film camera with a 35/70mm zoom lens. (not in use for the past 6 years)
I'm using either a Canon 350D or 400D with a 18/55mm, f 3.5-5.6, that belong to my brothers

sincerely
Bernardo

Thank you for joining Cambridge in Colour (CiC) and I hope you do find that it is a helpful resource in tthe development of your knowledge and skills.

Since the construction sites are a place where I usually carry a camera I had this idea of photographing workers, not easy do, the project is still on it's early stages.

That sounds like an excellent project. I can imagine that there will be many opportunities for very good pictures.

When you do make some of these pictures, please do post them onto CiC.

Oceanside - What a wonderful place that is. Is Ruby's diner still out at the end of the pier?

Jay - Welcome to CiC. I was in Oceanside in 2002 and loved the place.

Great to have you here on CiC. I hope you find this is a place where you can develop you skills. And the best way of doing that is to ask lots of questions. There is no such thing as a dumb question on CiC.

Hi, my name is Marina and I'm an addict
About a year ago I got my first DSLR Nikon D3000 and since then I shoot and learn and shoot and learn!
It is truly addictive and I'm a stubborn learner when it comes to crafts and skills.
Very happy to become a member of this community - it seems to be extremely useful and lots of great enthusiastic people!

Hi Marina,

Just had a quick look at your flickr page and even from the thumbnails, I can see you have an eye for this photography malarky

I'll have a better look later, but in the meantime; welcome to the CiC forums from ...

Hi Emma,

Great to have you join us, with Marina, that's two more Nikon shooters in a row (not that we count)

This may be a redundent question if I look at one of your other 3 posts; but here goes anyway; have you got any pictures to show us?

Hi! I'm Giannis and I live in Greece. I'm new to photography. I was searching for camera tips/lessons and found this brilliant little site!
Right now i own a Sony Cybershot DSC-P92 (which I find very limiting...) and I'm experimenting with composition and some close-ups of flowers and plants.
I want to upgrade to a dSLR to try macro-photography some day!
I have seen very beautiful and stunning pictures so far here (which makes me a little jealous) but i guess i'll upload a humble photo of mine...
