Hi everyone!

I am a Salvadoran living in India, working in roads infraestructure costruction and stealing every bit of time to dedicate to photography, still looking to get serious about photography since I got my Nikon D90 and is such a deservice piece of equipment that I should be more and more in to learning and practicing; this is how I got here, looking for tutorials and for experienced and supportive people that would help me in the process of improving my skills.

I have been doing portraits, architecture, landscape which has really turned to be so disapointing since I am not getting what I am looking for... please consider this a big shout for help!!! My contribution to this site? please be patient for I will be supportive as soon as my knowledge may become useful.

Muthu - I certainly think that CiC is a resource that can help you with your learning. I hope you enjoy being involved.

You didn't say where you are from. You can edit your profile and insert your location. It will then appear alongside each of your posts.

Hi Everyone, I'm a Retiree living in West-Central Florida primarily interested in bettering myself in the proper use of a Nikon D3000 digital camera. I was very pleased in viewing some of the Tutorials and from them picked up valuable information.
Presently, I feel like a Newbee using one of those "For Dummies" Books.

[Lucille]

Hello!

My name is Lucille. I am new to digital photography. I used to spend a lot of time with a manual SLR film camera but that was ages ago. Lately I have simply been taking snapshots of my family members and pets. I got a digital camera as a gift and the giver of the gift keeps asking me if I've figured out how to use it. Now's as good a time as any to put the puzzle together, I suppose. I look forward to sharing pictures and thoughts with you.

Cheers!

Hello World!

I have been cruising through here for a while and I decided to join. I am impressed by the international membership. I have been taking photos since 1980 when I got my first camera, a Pentax MV. I am now semi retired and love taking photos. Sometimes I need motivation and all of the lovely photos here will do just fine!

Thank you Donald; Your pictures are amazing, beautiful impression of tranquility and strength. I managed, after several trials, to place some pictures in my first album. I wonder if this is the right place to ask a few questions about your shoots...

[Wendy Stanford]

Hello, my name is Wendy and I live in Victoria Australia.
My interests are in Macro and Landscape Photography, however I enjoy all areas in between.
About 2 years ago I purchased my first dslr camera a 350D and have recently upgraded to a 7D which I am enjoying immensly.
I enjoy reading and learning about all areas of photography and being interactive with like minded people.

I wonder if this is the right place to ask a few questions about your shoots...

This is probably not the best part of the site in which to do that. Instead, and if you are referring to images that I've posted up on the forum, then please do just hit the 'Reply' button on any of those threads and ask your questions.

If you mean any of the images on my own website which you cannot find on here, then send me a Private message (PM)

Hi Everyone, I'm a Retiree living in West-Central Florida

Hello and welcome, Emory. Good to have you on board.

Presently, I feel like a Newbee using one of those "For Dummies" Books.

Yep, but it does get better - I am the living proof.

Please do pitch in with any questions or queries you may have. And, of course, post up some images.

And, hopefully, with the support of people here on CiC. If you've had a look around the forum you'll hopefully have seen that people are more than willing and able to offer all sorts of supportive advice and guidance. All you have to do is ask.

So, I hope you enjoy being part of this online community, Lucille.

Hello Jim, from (today) a very wet and grey Scotland. The international flavour of CiC is, I think, one of its great strenghts. You'll have seen that there is a very broad range of knoweldge and experience and many diffeernt perspectives all represented. The real plus point thougth is that it all happens within a friendly environment of support and collaboration. The more aggressive, competitive environment of some other fora is not a feature of life here on CiC. If it starts, it's soon stopped.

Oh, you lucky person!

Hello Wendy, and welcome to CiC.

Learnign and studying is, I think, what it's all about. The buzz from learning something knew never diminishes. I hope that you find that that buzz is shared by lots of people on here and that you find CiC a natural online base for your interests.

Great site and already spending hours reading the tutes & forums.

Hello
my name is Luke, I currently work as a photojournalist at my home town TV station. I work primarily with video and motion picture cameras but I believe strongly that one must understand the still frame before that can master the moving frame. I joined this community to help me further understand the concept of still frame photography. I'm really looking forward to posting and receiving feed back on my work as a still photographer which with any luck with improve the quality of my video work.

Cheers!

Hi out there
Barry from Sydney, Australia here. Currently in Europe, based in Berlin, for a working holiday. My wife is a performance artist and over the last 5 or 6 years I have been enlisted to be her photographer to document her work - mainly because I'm very cheap! Up until the last year or so I have regarded this as a duty rather than something I enjoy doing, but it has slowly taken over my creative life until now I wake up everyday and one of the first few thoughts that enters my groggy mind as I grasp for full consciousness, is related to photography. It is turning into an expensive habit!
I regard myself as somewhat of a novice and am enjoying the constant stimulation provided by learning and practicing new skills, techniques and styles etc.
Anyway, the attached image was taken today as Sylvia and I strolled around this amazing city of Berlin.
I'm looking forward to sharing some of my journey with you all and hopefully contributing as well as learning from the amazing amount of experience and knowledge available through the people involved with this site - thanks.

Great Shot!!! Love the Locale!!!

I'm glad you're finding this little corner of cyberspace interesting and that you've signed up to join in the fun. As you'll have worked out, it's pretty informal forum where people do care about trying to help others develop knowledge and skills. So, hopefully your knowledge will be available to others and that your questions can be answered. Good to have you along.

Luke

Hello and welcome. You don't say where your home town is. You can edit your profile and put that under location, so that alongside each of your posts, folks can see where you are.

I hope you find that what you'll get on here is constructive criticism and comment when that's asked for, along with a willingness to share ideas and debate photographic issues. Hope you enjoy it for a long time to come.
