Introduce Yourself & Welcome Other Members (archive)

[Donald]

I consider myself an amateur photographer so I will be asking a lot of questions.

Welcome Pat. Thank you for deciding to join the forum. CiC is very much about people being able to ask questions in the knowledge that there is no such thing as a dumb question on here and it is all about helping each other to learn. So, go for it.

[Donald]

..actually my photography teacher recommended this site.

What a very good teacher he/she must be!

Great to have you here. 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.

I hope you'll come to feel that it was a good recommendation that you got and that CiC becomes a regular part of your learning package.

Hi, tried to upload photo but very difficult. Will try again. One question though, how do post a new thread and not just reply to one? By the way, I live in Spain near Valencia. Took this shot a couple of years ago. Hopefully this works.

Hi, tried to upload photo but very difficult.

Well done Rodger. You've got it. Just one thing - This one you posted is 504px x 335 px. You'll finmd that you'll get mroe reaction from people if you post them at a larger size. You can for example post a landscape format like this at anything up to 1200 or even 1500 pixels on the long edge. I tend to post at 1024 pixels. They will be downsized automatically to go into the message. But, if you click on the copy in the message, it opens up in the forum Lightbox at full size. This can very often make a huge difference to the viewing experience.

Anywat, great to have you here and thank you for joining CiC. I hope you very much enjoy being part of the forum.

Thankyou. Do I always have to go to my profile to post a thread. Everything else I try comes up with 'no results' including the photos. Finding this quite complicated.

To reply in a thread that is already started by someone else, you press either 'Reply' or 'Reply with Quote', which you will see at the end of each post.

To start a new thread go into the section of the forum where you wish to post (e.g. Digital Cameras ...) and press the '+ Post New Thread' button near the top left of the window.

I hope you will, Gil. That's very much what CiC is all about - asking questions so that we can all learn. If you don't ask, you don't find out. So, I hope you enjoy being part of teh forum as well as finding it helpful.

By the way - 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.

Hello Ravi and welcome to the forum.

CiC is, as it says on the Masthead, a learning resource for everyone interested in photography. As well as the excellent tutorials, the forum exists in order to enable people to share information and ideas, to ask questions and discuss issues. Of course it also enables people to post images so that people can learn by giving and receiving constructive criticism and comment. So, I hoipe you find being involved is to your benefit.

My name is Mich and I'm from Mauritius. I'm a just a beginner looking to learn the Art of Photography.

One of the plus points about this forum, I hope you find Mich, is that the experienced people on here remember that they were once beginners and now try very hard to provide the supportive advice and guidance that helps people like your self to learn so that you can, one day, join those who are able to give advice and assistance.

Thank you for joining CiC and I hope you enjoy being involved.

Hi All, my name is jamid i have just started photography. i have purchased Nikon D5100 with lenses 18-55mm & 55- 200mm. Recently i come across this web page referred by my friend and i found it very helpful and interesting to develop new techniques of photography.

Hello Frank and welcome on board CiC.

Congratulations on the new purchase. First thing to do is get to know that camera and the lens inside/out. Practice, practice, practice until using all the controls becomes second nature and you don't have to think about it. At first it will feel like you'll never get to that level of experience, but it will happen if you put in the work.

And there will always be people on here to support and help you.
