Hi Dave. The camera came with the 18-55mm. I also purchased a 55-250mm telephoto lens for it. I am currently looking for a fisheye lens but someone told me that the 40mm pancake lens is better because it keeps your images sharp. Im unsure as to what I want just yet so I will just keep playing with the ones I have and get familiar with everything in the meantime.

Hi everybody. im bryan from dublin. i recently invested in a canon 5d MkII, (having saved up for months), and am not trying to put it to good use. i am an amateur, but i do actually teach a photography module as part of lecturing in graphic design. I enjoy street photography a lot, but also do a lot of architectural/interior design photography (i am an architect) and have recently assisted in a couple of wedding shoots, a fashion show and a theatre production... i joined today because i need some help on the latter...but i believe i must post somewhere for that!!

Hello,

I am an intermediate photographer in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This site looks to be very welcoming and friendly. I am uploading one photo.

I should have mentioned I have used Pentax cameras for many years and now use a K 7. I particularly like macro photography but I would like to do more portraits.

Hello everyone, from Dave's post #1490 above down to to JayKrish's message immediately above.

I'm just back from a wonderful holiday/vacation in the Southern Rhone wine area of France ... and it was glorious. Have got the 146 files down to 24, + the 38 I still have to edit down to to 2 for the shot of the full moon rising over the Dentelles de Montmirail on July 3rd (that's going to have to be a blend).

So let me extend a collective 'Hello' to all you folks who have just joined CiC. I hope you enjoy it.

And a special message for those of you who haven't edited your profile to include either your proper name and/or your address:

So that you don't continue to get people asking you what your proper name is, because most us use that on here, you can go to Edit Profile and enter your proper name under 'Real Name'. Then it will appear underneath your Username in all your posts. You can also enter your location so that it does the same, just as in my details alongside this message. Then we all know where everyone is in the world.

Hi everyone,
I'm Doug and am just getting started in photography. I retired last year and moved from the US to Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico. I purchased a Nikon D5000 before I left and am just now starting to try and figure everything out. There are so much beautiful and unique photo opportunities here that I am anxious to share with all.

Hi, my name is Brad. Photography has been an interest (and sometimes a passion) of mine since the 1970s. I got back into it about 12 years ago with the advent of digital. My early focus was on nature photography, especially landscapes and wildflowers, although I've done a little street photography in recent years. I've spent a lot of time at museums looking at and learning from photos by great photographers such as Paul Strand, Edward Weston, Elliot Porter, Ansel Adams, and others, and I really look forward to learning more from all the great tutorials here on the CIC site. It's a great service, and I'd like to express my thanks for all the hard work and creativity that have gone into it. The site has come a long way since I first visited it years ago!

Brad - You're one of many to whom the same applies who are members on here, myself included. So, a very warm welcome and I hope you'll feel at home on CiC. And I hope the exchanges you have on here contribute as much to your learning as the tutorials.

Hi my name is Robert, I have been taking photos for almost 30 years, (this time span does not reflect in my photography) used to use and develop 35mm film mainly black and white, but have now turned to digital, and find it very convenient. I take loads of snaps, both on land and underwater, but would now love to develop my skills on the PC to get the most out of what I take. I have used a range of software, and find them all baffling, but I will persist.
I live north of Cambridge, so thought this is the site for me.

Hello Robert and welcome to the forum. The Cambridge connection comes from the fact that the site was started by Sean McHugh (McQ) when he was studying at Cambridge.

I hope being part of CiC does help you develop your knowledge and skills as well as proving a generally informative and entertaining online resource.
