HELLO cambridge fellows!
I am a chemist with record in PHOTOCHEMISTRY , so here is the link!
I have been using this wonderful site for learning advanced techniques and novel ideas. It is written for people like me - photo enthusiasts, who wish to learn and improve.
I own many 50 yrs old photographs-(mine), and remember the days when every photo was part guesswork and part luck, and still it did work. A large metal box with old negatives is waiting patiently for scanning.....
Of course I did my own developement in black & white, but stopped when color dominated the field....
I print my photos on old CANON 6300, which worked until last saturday, and then suddenly refused to advance the paper... I appreciate your advice on replacement.
I have my own two "mini-exhibitions": one in the building where I work, the second where I live.
I would like to reap the knowledge and expertise of your community, and maybe even find virtual friends.

Hello everyone, I live in Georgia and have always been interested in photography, but never pursued my interests. I have recently purchased a Nikon D5100 and am trying to master the manual mode!! I am also trying to get a "solid" understanding of, ISO, shutter speed and aperture. I know I will, it's just going to take some time, like I tell my kids, "Be patient". I've looked around at other sites and this one is really good. I'm excited to finally get out and start shooting, my camera that is.

Hi there Carder,

Warm welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us.

What lens(es) do you have for the D5100?

[Dave Humphries]

Hi everyone my name is Alan Hendry I own a small photography & video business in Namibia, I use Canon equipment and also have a mobile studio.

Hi Alan,

I would imagine, but possibly incorrectly, that there's not so much competition as in a big European/American city, but I bet you have your fair few challenges to deal with!

Hi everyone, my name is Shawn. I live in the State of Washington. I have been taking photos for a number of years and use Canon equipment. I shoot mostly sports. You can see a few of my photos here: http://www.shawndonnellyimages.smugmug.com

I stumbled accross this site (CinC) while researching error codes for a friend. It looked interesting and seemed to have people from all over the world posting so I joined.

Hi Shawn,

#99? - as a Nikon user, that one sticks in my mind as being the most commonly referred to Canon error code people seek information on

Anyways, welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us and yes, we have members 'all over'.

Best regards,

Hi,

My name is Kundan and I am from Pune, India. I am new to photography world and learning basic concepts of Photography.

Hello, my name is Peter. I'm from Sopron, Hungary. I have restarted taking photos on my 30th birthday when I got an Ixus v. I have quickly upgraded to Nikon D40 and recently to D5100 so I decided to polish up my photographer skills. I was remembered CiC from the DoF calculator so visited this site again where I have found much more interesting themes than there were on my last visit. Congratulations for developing an interesting photography site!

I want to learn more effective composition and post-processing, and going deeper with portrait photograpy. I usually take photos of events and landscapes now.

Hi Raul,

This isn't the usual place for comments, they are linked from this thread, along with some other useful advice.
How to Get Effective Feedback for your Posted Images.

The most obvious thing to say about this shot would be along the lines of; good exposure and frozen water effect, but the background needs some work

Hello to everyone!

Since I have been using the tutorials here for several months, and viewing many of the WONDERFUL photos taken by members here, I finally decided to join the site. I have to say it is a fabulous place with many useful tools. The community as a whole seems to be quite nice as well. I am looking forward to developing my photographic chops, as well as meeting some interesting people from all over.

A little bit about me.. hrm.. well, I am 35 and married, and I recently decided - after a 15 year break - to get back into snapping pictures. It amazes me how much has changed, and how much of a novice I really am. I enjoy architectural pictures, people, and nature. I have found that while out and about looking for great things to snap, I have been getting some much needed exercise. It would seem this hobby will have a two fold effect for me; relaxation in the actual taking of the pics, and physical exercise getting to where I want to be in order to snap the pic.

As I said, I am truly looking forward to getting better and growing in my hobby. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to conversations with many of you.

Sean
