Hello everyone. Stumbled onto your site through a link discussing stacked photos with different focus. My name is John and I'm from Canada. I enjoy nature photography but am keen to learn any aspect of photography. I look forward to exploring this site.

Cheers!

Welcome John! There are indeed a number of members here who stitch and stack photos here exceptionally well and will be more than happy to share the tips and tricks they use. There's also a number of members from Canada who have shared some fantastic landscape and nature photos so I hope you do the same.

Hi Acep and welcome to CiC. You have some very good photos on your blog if there's one thing i've learnt about photography it's that you never stop learning and I'm sure you'll be able to learn more being part of the CiC community. Make sure you post some of your photos up in the forums to get some feedback - I look forward to seeing them!

It's great to hear that you're enjoying your time here Thomas. No doubt you have a lot of valuable experience to share with the members here, and hopefully you'll find some of the posts and commentary insightful as well.

It's also always nice to have more Nikon shooters here as I'm sure we're outnumbered by the Canon guys - not that we pay any attention to that sort of thing here

Hello Brendan and a very warm welcome to you. Thanks for signing up to CiC. What DSLR and lens did you get?

Hopefully you've seen enough of the site (forum and tutorials) to see that CiC is very much about learning and about people being very willing to help other people learn. So, if you have any questions, want to make a point in a discussion, check out some detail, post up an image for comment and criticism, or just generally sound off to the world (at least this little bit of it), please do post it up in a message.

I hope you enjoy being part of this community.

Welcome Katja

I am very pleased to hear that you have found the site to be helpful.

One of the most useful ways of learning is to ask questions. On a forum such as this people sometimes feel nervous about asking a question, because they think that others may think that they should already know the answer. That is not the case here on CiC. The philosophy is that if you have a question then many others probably have the same question, but are just nervous about asking it. So, you will help others as well as yourself.

And, of course, posting up images and asking others to comment upon it is also a helpful way to learn.

So, I look forward to your contributions on the forum and i hope you enjoy being involved.

Hi friends, I am VK from Pune, India. I started my carrier in photography in 1965, a job as darkroom assistant, bought my first SLR Chinon in 1977, then used and sold for various reasons Canon AV, AT, AL, AE1 with various lenses even the TS lens, A insult from a Canon Dealer shifted to Nikon in 1987, first was F801, F401, F50, and F60. In 1994 started the Fully digital Studio using Fujix 505 camera with Pictrography 3000 printer and Apple Mac computer. With financial constraint bought Nikon Coolpix 990, P90 and now D5100 + 18 - 105 mm lens. Joined various forums to meet people, share views and if required help the interested in Video Photo Audio Tracks and Computer assembly.

Hi all,
My name is Joe and I live in Washington, D.C. I was a journalist for nearly 20 years and had the good fortune to know and work with many talented photographers. I've dabbled with digital photography for the last seven years and feel I have an understanding of good composition but am really a novice on the technical skills that will allow me to get to the next level. I shoot with a Nikon D7000 and admit that it's probably more camera than I really need (but I'm hoping to change that). I came across this site on a Google search and was very impressed. I'm not great at keeping up with forums, but let's give it a shot!

[Daveross]

Hi every one, my name is Dave and I live in Aldershot in Hampshire, This is a great site with lots of information and great photography so I am looking forward to viewing members work and learning more about photography and joining in the fun. I have been a photographer for many years but I am still learning & developing new skills. You never stop learning and thats what make life so interesting.

[Donald]

Hi friends, I am VK from Pune, India.

Hello and welcome to CiC. I hope you will enjoy being part of the forum and that your extensive experience will be shared with others in order to help them learn.

[Donald]

Right Joe, this is the chance to change all that!

Thank you for signing up to CiC. I hope you enjoy it. We try and live up to the header that this is a learning community. So, the idea of people sharing their knowledge and experience in order to help others learn is very much what we encourage.

We're a fairly informal and harmless bunch and one thing that keeps me here is that we don't have people who just want to talk about how much new, expensive gear they have. The ability to make good images and enjoy the artistic aspects of photography is what motivates the vast majority of people on here.

So, please do join in the fun.
