[RogerBA]

Hello everybody
I'm Roger and I recently bought a Canon 5D Miii with a 24-105 f/4L IS USM lens.
I also have an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens with it, and I am thinking of buying a flash now (the Speedlite 600EX-RT)
I'm not a pro, but I like taking pictures, I am reading a lot of books, experimenting and trying to learn as much as I can about photography,
it has been my passion for a long time, but I never had the time to experiment till now.
Hope to get the help I need from you at this forum when I need it.

Best regards
Roger

Hi Vic,
Welcome to CiC.
I would guess you have access to a lot of advice from your daughter; but here at CiC you will have the chance to ask for advice from 1000's of members. As you will see the tutorials are very good and the forums back these up, as you can post any additional questions you might have there and get the members to help out.
I look forward to seeing your pictures and talking to you futher.
Don't forget you can edit your profile to add your real name so that it shows in the real name field, as I have done, then it will show on all of your future posts.
I hope you enjoy being a member.

Hello Patti,
A big welcome to CiC from me.

What a great present, Nikon are very good cameras. It's nice that you are not limiting yourself to one type/style of photography as this will allow you to gain a wide scope of experience.
This site has great tutorials which will certainly help you learn. Any question you have can be posted in the forums, the members normally reply quickly; giving help and advice.
I look forward to your first picture post; I think the best way to learn is to post into the forum and get C&C from the members, it really does help.
Enjoy being a member and get posting.
Kind regards
John

Hi Pauline,
we are alway gentle here at CiC, we are all learning together .
A big welcome to CiC.
My wife comes with me on most of my shoots, but has no interest in photography at all. The only time she shows any interest, is if she wants me to take pictures of the cakes she bakes.

What sort of camera are you shooting with?
As Paul has probably told you the tutorials are very good here and if hubby can't answer any questions you have then the forums normally sort things out.

I look forward to seeing your first picture post and talking to you further.
Regards
John

PS. Don't forget you can edit your profile to add your real name and a rough location if you wish. Most of us use first names here.

Hello, new member here. I have always been a Photographer at heart. I'm the one at all the family reunions and get togethers, trip, etc... with the camera. Whether it was a point and shoot or here recently when I purchased my first DSLR. Wow do I have a learning curve. I am however having fun. I work 2nd shift so I'm unable to take any Photography classes. I would do it on line but, there's nothing like "hands on" training. So as a result I'm teaching myself. I have some questions which ill address in another topic. So, hopefully ill get to meet some of you as a I learn my Canon T3i 600d. Here's 1 photo I took yesterday. I do use Lightroom 4. I need all the help I can get.
