Welcome to the CiC forums from me, great to have you join us.

It's good your son knows what he wants to do, mine did too at about that age and 5 years later is at University studying to achieve the same aim.

If you have any questions, or photos to share, please don't hesitate.

Best regards,

Hi to all,
I'm a just retired Consulting Architect from India, grossly involved in projects so long.
Now i have decided to peruse PHOTOGRAPHY seriously. My area of interest are; (i) Landscape, (ii) Travel, (iii) Po trait & (iv) Tabletop.

I would need all your help and share your knowledge and expertise to improve my skill.

I use Nikon, D5000, 18-55mm, 55-200mm, Sigma 10-20mm & Nikon SB600. Planing to buy Nikon 50mm 1.4. and an old Stitz tripod.

Though i am not a newbie in photography, i am open to learning as "digital" is new for me.

Best regards.

Hi Matthew and welcome. Good to see another keen photographer here. Is there anything in particular you enjoy shooting, or do you have a more general interest?

My name is Orn and I´m from Akureyri / Iceland.
I bought my first Digital camera for about 2 years ago and now I have Nikon D200 (NIKON 50mm 1:1,8. / NIKKOR AF-S 18-135mm 1:3,5-5,6 G ED / NIKON AF-S 12-24 f4 G DX IF ED).
I love to take outdoor pictures and use the natural light, but I still want to have PS and learn on it.
Here is lot of wonderful pictures and information so I will keep reading and practicing so I can start to post a picture on this side.

Hi Draco,

Welcome to the site, and congratulations on getting the 500D. What lenses have you got for it?

[Draco]

I got a canon ef 50mm f 1.8 ii. Maybe later I should buy another telephoto lens.

Hi, my name is Lauren and I came across this site looking for tutorials on digital photography. Although I've been taking pictures for a couple of years with an Olympus 35mm, I never learned how to take pictures with anything other than default settings. I just got a Kodak Z812 IS and would like to learn how to use some of the manual settings. I mostly take pictures of our cats when they let me. I also like to photograph wildlife.

[LeoLeo]

Hi,
I'm Leo, from Romania, and I've found this site looking after "photography tutorials". (btw, great work with those tutorials).
Subjects ? ....well... shoot everything ..like any enthusiastic amateur, but no weddings, and other related events ( and I'm not willing even in the future )
For the momment I have a Sony A200 with standard kit lenses (18-76 ; f/3.5-5.6), but I will upgade at the end of this year.

See you on forum,
Leo
