Hello everyone, this site is amazing! I am looking forward to exploring it fully and learning some amazing things and hopefully even contributing I have been a keen photographer for many years but became a lot more serious over the last 3 years. I do portraiture & landscape mostly, with the occasional wedding, sporting event and commercial shoot thrown in. I have recently moved to the East Coast and am in the process of setting up my business here. I look forward to joining in

Hi all,
Based in the North East of good old England.. I've spent a lifetime loving great images and finally decided I need to use something other than the Vulcan logic based chunk of my brain and have a Cannon EOS 1100D D-SLR on order for my birthday in a few weeks.

No idea how I'll progress or even what I like but I do know what I love... when I see it.

A friend pointed me to CiC and all I can say is fantastic tutorials, detailed but with enough layman's to keep me happy so hoping the Community can help me to capture great images.

Don't have any shots with a real camera but here is a little snapshot taken in a local B&Q (other diy stores are available ) on a very old mobile phone, switched out to BnW

really looking forward to getting involved!!

Hi All

My name is Derek and I took my first photo's 51 years ago with a Kodak Instamatic...I was at a motorcycle scrambling event where I worked out panning for myself but only manged to get 24 shots of a tree, sometimes with a motorcycle rear wheel disappearing past it...

I am re-discovering my love of photography and look forward to learning the new digital style...I have a Nikon D100 with standard and Tamron 80-300/macro and a Fuji DSLR with 500 Tamron mirror manual lens..

I am becoming more interested in nature and macro photography..

Hello Dyanesh and welcome to the CiC forum. I hope you will be able to learn from the knowledge and experience that others on here are always willing to share. It is only by communicating together that we can learn from each other.

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.

Hi All

Hello Derek and welcome. Thank you for joining. I hope you enjoy it.

The dear old instamatic provided lots of pleasure for lots of people.

I was at a motorcycle scrambling event where I worked out panning for myself but only manged to get 24 shots of a tree, sometimes with a motorcycle rear wheel disappearing past it...

I was lucky enough to be in the same place as the Tour de France a few years ago. My results were about the same. I stick to mountains, trees and walls. They don't move!

[Milos]

Hello photo-fans,
my name is Milos and I live in Slovakia. I take snaps since my childhood. I started with my father's Voigtlaender Brillant (still in cabinet), then continued with Pentacon, Olympus, and in new millenium I switched to Canon's digital compacts. Last one I have sold this year after buying Pentax dslr.
Even though I photograph for decades, my camera usage remained on the basic level, point and shoot. Lately I decided to wade more deep in this hobby.
I will appreciate any advices to improve myself (after posting some photos

Hello Milos, and welcome to the CiC community.

Now that you have decided to wade deeper into the hobby, you have come to the right place to learn. You can learn from viewing other members posts and reading their feedback, and don't forget the tutorials, which are excellent. And, as you say, you can post your own images and get feedback directly. I hope you enjoy being here.

It would be good if you could edit your profile to let everyone know whereabouts you are in world, and how you’d like to be known (in CiC terms your “real name”). To do that, you click Settings (right at top), then Edit Profile (on left) and put your first in the Real Name field and where you are (roughly) in the Location field.

Regards,

Dave

[Stardog2]

Hello All,

Just joined about 10 minutes ago. My Birth name is Glen, though I go by Stardog2 most places online. That refers to my motorcycle which is a Yamaha VStar. At the age of 63, I've been involved in photography for roughly 50 years. I was formally trained in photography by the US Air Force during the late 1960's early 70's. Excellent basic photography training, I still recall and use stuff I learned then.

I shoot mostly landscape, architectural, and street. I find as I age, street has become easier for me. I don't know if I'm seen as less threatening now than I was (I call it the, "Nothing good can come from young men with cameras" theory), or if it is some sort of "inner Yoda" in me that transcends urban suspicions. But it is true for me that street is easier.

[SteveWilko]

Hi there, my name is Steve from the Wirral. I am a complete novice when it comes to photography and currently use a Panasonic bridge camera. My main interest is landscape photography and will be looking to upgrade to a DSLR soon and possibly go on a course to make the most of the features. (Any recommendations welcome regarding equipment and photography courses). My main goal is to capture some of the stunning scenery in the highlands and islands of Scotland.
Look forward to sharing and viewing pictures.
Regards Steve.

Hello every one
I have just joined Cambridge in Colour. My name is Dev dongol, I am from Kathmandu, Nepal, a small country in south Asia.
I am a tourism entrepreneur with great passion on photography. I have recently started to organize photography tours to this photogenic Himalayan country with the name of Himalayan Clickers www.lensnepal.com. Besides I have created a face book page Himalayan Clickers to share photography tips and tutorials that i find in different web sites to enhance the skill and creativity of upcoming photographers.
As I work in tourism, I get the opportunity to travel and trek to different corners of the Himalayas and capture the beautiful landscapes. I love to shoot the landscapes at night. Very recently I have been fascinated by macro photography...it's a different world...
Thank you for taking time to read all this...
Regards
Dev dongol
