Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

[JPS]

Hello Everybody,
my name is Giacomo, 46 years old, and I'm from Italy.
Travel and Landscape photography was the great passion of my youth, but later lost in the mess of my life... I'm quite new in Digital Photography and I still have to learn a lot, but most of all I need independent, detached judgements and criticisms of my works.
I have a Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i in USA) with 10-24mm and 18-200mm Tamron lenses
I hope to find the time to actively take part to CiC community.

Kind regards

Hi Giacomo,
Welcome to CiC.

The other members will be happy to give you some good C&C and the tutorials will help you to progress with your photography.
I look forward to seeing your pictures and talking to you futher in the forums.
Regards
John

Hello to everyone, I am a retired LP-Gas service person and a country amateur photographer that likes to take scenery and wildlife photos. I started in my amateur career with a Pratika 35mm film camera and now have a Canon Rebel XT. I shoot in Jpg and Raw, I still like using my old trusty lite meter for exposure. I also do all of my own editing of my photos and print on an Epson 1400 printer. I hope to enjoy reading the forums and suggestions given by other members on photography.

Hello and welcome to CiC.

I hope you enjoy being involved in the forum and that you both gain from being a member in terms of adding to your knowledge and skills, but also in sharing your experience with others in order to help them learn.

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.

Hello! I'm Laura Cruise from Hanover, PA. I am new to digital photography and I am looking forward to learning more! I have a passion for nature photography and love to worship God through capturing the detail of his creation through the lense. I have a Nikon D5100 and I look forward to sharing work and receiving feedback through this community. Blessings to you and thanks for maintaining such a helpful site!

Hello, I'm Evan and I took my first photograph in 1970 with a pinhole camera, and I was hooked! I've been doing picture taking ever since growing from an old Kodak 620? film camera to my latest acquisition a used Canon 7D. I've very recently gotten interested in astrophotography and hope to be posting some photos from that in the near future. I am getting used to DSLRs in general and have read and experimented for the last 15 years using mostly trial and error with lots and lots of errors. I now know somewhat not to do...I see a lot of great advice here and hope to share some of my own experiences. Thanks and any other questions, just ask...

Hi
Rapid is the name given to me by former work colleagues, but my wife calls me Steven, amongst other things.
I own Canon 350D & 600D, 18-55mm & 70-300mm lenses, I was retired in 2010 on ill health, so I took an adult education classes in photography, my main interest are landscape and architecture photography, both of which I'm trying to develop my own style and technique. I will be looking to purchase a "general travel lens" during the year, so the research starts here.
I look forward to taking part in the forum debates and hope to improve my skills.

Hello! My name is Mari and I found your site quite by accident whilst looking at HDR photography. I currently use a Nikon D7000 with mainly an 18-105 lens. I like all types of photography, especially landscapes, street photography and B&W. Wish I could win the lottery so I could have all the time in the world to take photos! LOL

Hello you guys and thank you for deciding to sign up to CiC. I hope you enjoy being part of the forum and whatever your current level of knowledge and experience, you find it a useful resource to continue your learning and a place in which you can enjoy the company of other enthusiasts.

Rapid and Mari - If you wish you can go to Edit Profile and put in your location, so that it appears in the sidebar alongside your message, just like mine beside this message. Then everybody knows where everybody else is.

Helio my name is Joanne and I just took my new olympus omd em5 out of its box this afternoon! I retired last summer, got married and moved up to the bush from the city. The winter is getting long and I figured I needed a hobby. Am so looking forward to taking some pictures

[davidedric]

Hi Joanne and a warm welcome to CiC. Retiring, getting married, moving up country AND getting a new camera - must be almost too much excitement. If you've had a look around here you'll have seen it is a friendly and supportive place to help you learn your new hobby. I look forward to seeing some pictures from beautiful BC (we spent some vacation time there a few years back) and to hearing more from you.

We've had a few cms of snow here and the country has ground to a halt. I don't think I'd do too well in Canadian winter.

Cheers, Dave

hello , name iz filmon & me, my camera nikon d3000 just new to the photography world but i'm hopin on getting better with the help of CiC!!

[Wessex Wildlife]

Hi, checking in here on CiC to pick the brains of all you good folks. I have been using CiC for some time to get tutorials and tips, so prepare for some really very silly questions!

[davidedric]

my name is Alan . i am a student from kerala

Hi Alan, and welcome to CiC. I hope that you enjoy being a member here, and that this community can help you on your journey to being a better photographer.

No need to apologise for your camera. You can find threads on here that show what stunning pictures can be made with a "point and shoot" camera. Your eye for a picture and for composition is what matters most right now. If you have questions, or you want feedback on one of your photographs, just ask in one of the forums: everyone is very welcoming and helpful.

I visited Kerala a little while ago - it's a beautiful and varied part of the world. I hope we will see some pictures before too long.

Best regards,

Dave

hello , name iz filmon

Hi there, and welcome to CiC. If you are new to photography (an even if when you become very experienced!) this is an excellent place to learn. Feel free to ask questions in the forums, and don't forget the excellent tutorials, too.

You might want to update your profile with your name and whereabouts in the world you are. That way they will appear in any of your posts, just like mine do under my avatar picture.

I look forward to hearing more from you,

Dave

Hi David and welcome to CiC.

I'm glad that you've found the site useful, and have decided to join. There is one rule here, though:

There are no silly questions

So ask away - you'll always get an answer or two from this community.

What kind of photography are you interested in - it would be good to see some examples of your work.

Look forward to hearing more from you,

Regards,

Dave
