Hello.... I'm in Kingston, Ontario, but I'm moving to the UK in the next few months. I've been here for five years and (probably because I'm an enthusiastic amateur who eats, sleeps and breathes photography), I became the President of the local Photo Club a couple of years back. I tend to be the one with the answers on the technical side but I've also done quite well in competitions. I've always been highly impressed by the knowledge shared on this website and have been recommending it to our members for a few years..... so I feel I can ask a few questions of my own now!

Greetings from NYC
My name is Terry Brown and I am an amateur photographer as well as a senior technologist in the Motion Picture and Television industries. I specialize in color science and digital imaging, facility design and trying to keep my clients out of trouble in todays complex world. I spent 25 years in Hollywood and have worked for both Kodak and Technicolor in my career.
I started photography as a kid, my parents building a dark room in our basement. Did mainly black and white but played with the old Cibachrome color system as well.

Hello, Armond.

You don't say what you think your level of experience is in photography. Whatever it is, I hope you find that CiC is a helpful resource and one that you want to be a regular part of.

I just registered to be part of this forum. I have been much more actively involved in my amateur photography in the past year and have been enjoying the many of the resources that are available. I read photography books, participate in other online forums, take lots of pictures, and spend time processing RAW images. I also like to share my images on flickr as well as emailing digital copies to friends and printing the real thing at my home. I know little about this site other than it being recommended by a fellow photographer. So, I am happy to learn.

Why not have look around not only the forum, but also the tutorials, which are widely acclaimed as being amongst the best available.

CiC is very much about learning and about people sharing knowledge and experience. I hope you enjoy being part of it.

introduction..avid and still learning, photographer born and raised in texas usa..looking forward to my first interaction with a forum group

[John Brodie]

Having recently retired I have decided to enrol on photography course at our local further education college. Have been interested fleetingly in photography for years but have decided to try and increase my knowledge and develop my photographic skills further. I also have an interest in Photoshop and have tried a number of projects influenced by Scott Kelby.

[Donald]

I've loved photography for as long as I can remember. I shoot digital mostly to capture my two sons playing competitive basketball. Film I shot for myself - I enjoy B&W darkroom work, and I took a color darkroom course several years ago. I want to learn more about color correction and color management.
