Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

Hi everybody. I am Raju. I stay in Mumbai, INDIA.

Raju

A very warm welcome.

So that people know where you are, you can if you wish, you can go to Edit Profile and enter your location so that it shows up alongside all your posts, just as in my details alongside this message. Then we all know where everyone is in the world.

I hope that being part of CiC does contribute to your developing knowledge and skills and supports you in producing the images you want. Although, I have to say that to produce the highest quality images (and you have the equipment to do that), you would need to be shooting in RAW and getting invovled in post-processing. Once you begin to post images asking for comment and criticism, I think you will find a lot of the advice and suggestions made, involve aspects of post-processing.

Hi ... Transplant from Australia and have had fun with cameras for years, almost all Canons. I'm trying to branch out from photographing flowers as I seem stuck there! Had fun discovering the bulb setting and taking photos of fireworks at the Golden Gate Bridge 75th anniversary. I know very, VERY little about photography but really enjoying learning while I play. Great to be part of this wonderful site.

I suspect you're being modest, Wendy, but I hope that you'll quickly feel that CiC is the appropriate online community for you to be part of in order to learn and develop your knowledge and skills.

I think you'll find a community of people who will be supportive, happy to answer questions and give advice and who enjoy making images, rather than getting totally lost on who has the latest gear and forgetting that the equipment is only a tool in the creative process.

Good to have you here.

Hi everyone, my name is Denise and I live in Western Australia. I have been interested in photography for a long time but now have the time to learn more about my camera and improve my skills. The website is very good and caught my interest immediately. I think I can learn a lot here. I presently have a Nikon D3000 but feel I will need to upgrade in the not too distant future.

hello everyone, my name is Simona and I don't have so much experience in photography, but I really want to learn and improve. My first DSLR will arrive today and I cant wait to see what it does , compared to my bridge camera, which is only an old Fuji model 5700. I also want to say "thank you" for all the help you are giving to new learners, it is rare in these days that people help others just from passion...

[Donald]

My first DSLR will arrive today

Simona - Congratulations. What camera is it that you are getting?

I don't have so much experience in photography, but I really want to learn and improve.

That is why CiC exists and I hope that by being involved, you will feel that you are improving your knowledge and skills.
