Hi, my name is Ehsan but friends call me esus! Photography was first my favorite hobby but now it's something more than that.
My SLR is canon 550D. At the moment I read and try to learn as much as I can to get the best out of my camera. Here is really helpful for me with the perfect toturials and discussions in forums. Thanks for the amazing website and being so friendly.

[Priest]

Hi! I am happy to join with fellow lovers of the art of photography. My friends call me priest, because I am, but Ron works very well.
I started in photography in the late 70's and was blessed with a great business at the same time I was building skyscapers as a union carpenter. Finished my degree at night and later became an ordained priest. Now, I am a happy retired guy that rides a Harley and likes to take lots of photographs. I love to see the work of others, but I really don't say much. Thanks for having me join with you on your photographic journey. Peace.

[Rejanish]

Hi, I'm Rejanish from Kerala, India. i was interested in photography since my childhood but never taken seriously, but after i bought my new Nikon P100 I start liking this, trying to experiment and started learning photography. When i start searching how to learn Digital Photography some how i got this link of CIC then only i came to know that I am just a beginner in this. I'd love to learn more and more about this with the help from all senior members. Its good to be in this forum for a beginner like me.

Hello Cynthia. Welcome to CiC. Great to have you on board.

If you want to do some studying around the topic of portraiture, you could do a lot worse that go to the series of lessons that Colin (one of the Admins on here) posted up. You can access it by clicking here. And the beauty of it is, it's free!

I hope you quickly feel that CiC is a very friendly and pretty informal corner of cyberspace. The most important thing is that people feel able to take part and that they get whatever support they want to develop their knowledge and skills. So, please do join in the fun.

Hello All,

My name is Anna Perevertaylo I was born in Ukraine, moved to CA when I was 2. I've lived here ever since and my photography passion grew from an early age. My passion in photography lies in shooting wedding and on occasion models. I am an ameture photographer, have been shooting for 4 years. I will attach my latest wedding slideshow link below.

I am here to learn the technical side of my D 40 Canon. I have little knowledge about all the features it presents and my goal is to focus on any given tutorial from this website and obtain knowlege from my camera's functions. My photos are coming out well but I do a handful of photoshop touch-ups. Which on the contrary if I had the knowledge I would need very little edits done. Any advice / help is appreciated.

And thanks Y`all for having me here!

Hello Sherwin. Thank you for joining CiC. I hope you will enjoy being part of the forum.

For how long has photography been your hobby? And do you concentrate on any particular type of photography - macro; portrait, landscape, etc?

Hi Everyone
My name is Verdon. Although I have an interest in photography I have not really done a great deal about it.
After joining this site I am hoping that I will eventually be able to take photo's of this quality.
I look forward to being given guidance & direction by some very talented people.

Hi All,
I'm Peter from Australia. After a life of holiday snaps I decided to try and learn about the art of real photography. Hope eventually I can make a contribution to the community

[kdoc856]

hey folks,
My name is Kevin, I've played casually with photography for about ten years and more seriously for about 5. I thought I was beginning to know a little till I discovered CIC: now I begin to understand how little that is. You people are so goood! The site and forums are so well done, and so completely civilized. I stand as a sponge here humbly before you and hope to absorb what passes by. Thanks for sharing your hard-earned knowledge
