Richard Hello and welcome. You don't tell us where in the world you are. You can edit your profile and enter your country, areas, city etc, ifd you wish.

Wherever you are, it's good to have you on board CiC. I am sure the members on here, along with the tutorials that you've maybe already looked at, will help and support you're learning. I look forward to seeing some of your work being posted.

hello everyone, my name is christoforos and i live in Paralimni Cyprus. other than holiday snap shots i do not have a photographic background. in short i am a complete novice and i look forward to reading, digesting and hopefully finding 'that perfect' picture on my travels. at present i do not have a specific medium or type of picture i would like to take. i have a nikon D60 with a 18-270mm 1:3.5-6.3 lens and i am considering the purchase of another lens or camera with appropriate lens for close up photography.(any suggestions very welcome) it is my intention to read all of the tutorials and seek advise if possible from other members. currently i am practising shots on the coast line, up the mountains, we have lots of mountains in cyprus also general people, places and buildings of interest. my wife and i have a wish list of places to visit in the future, which i believe will provide the opportunity to develop my skills, these include, this year malaysia, singapore,dubia, followed by trips to the winter olympics in sochi russia, to practise moving/action skills, vancouver and alaska, there are others however any advise would be most welcome. to date i have thoroughly enjoyed the tutorials, veiwing some incredible pictures and reading the forum. at present i feel that i don't have anything worthy to publish but i will endeavour to do so in the future. best wishes to all christoforos

[abhi]

Hi, I am Abhi and I am from India. I have been trying to learn photography for a few years now. Sadly, I feel I might have regressed over that period. I own a Cannon digital rebel, with 18-55mm IS, and 55-250mm IS lenses. I find that while I love the act of composing and taking photographs (even though I am not good at it), I hate PP. I have only recently started doing some PP on my photos using Helicon Filter. I hope that the discussions, critiques and the competitions keep me motivated enough to finally learn photography. Last month, I was outside in my balcony when I saw this crow with some grapes.

It's a pleasure to greet you onto CiC.

I hope that the discussions, critiques and the competitions keep me motivated enough to finally learn photography.

I certainly hope that by being a member on here and having the opportunity to participate in the discussions and read what others have to say, you do find the necessary motivation to continue the development of your knowledge and skills. I am very confident that all the other members on here will be very willing to offer you their support and share their knowledge

[Richard Donham]

Hi, everybody, my name is Richard. I have been enjoying this forum, benefiting from reading the posts of people much more experienced than me at photography. I started my interest in photography as a birder, many years ago. My first SLR was a Miranda Sensorex (remember them!) about 1970, or so. I used telephoto lenses back before there was such a thing as autofocus, image stabilization, or even zoom lenses. I dropped back to P&S for about 20 years, picked up my first DSLR (Canon T1i) about a year ago, and then bought a 60D recently. To me, digital is almost a completely different technology, and I am finding post-processing to be fun and very rewarding, although frequently confusing, mostly because my skill level is pretty limited. I have also been finding also that my interest seems to be swinging toward landscapes as well as nature photography.

Hi Richard,

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

23 posts; I suspect Donald must have 'reminded' you to make an introduction

Well you're obviously fitting in and making the most of us, so I'll see you in the forums ...

Best regards,

Hi Ross,

A good camera and selection of fairly fast lenses there.

We have a motto here at CiC; the only dumb question is the one you don't ask

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the CiC forums from me, good to have yet another Nikon shooter join us.

Which macro lens did you get then?

I look forward to seeing the shots next week, hope the weather is kind when you're out.

All the best,

Hello,

My name is Paul Lerley. I just joined this forum as a new member. I am a semi-retired Electrical Engineer who has been interested in photography since my teen years. I spent many hours in my B&W dark room in my younger years, but would not trade the digital tools for that world! I use a Canon 40D and shoot mostly landscapes, flowers and macro. I look forward to listening in on the threads. There are so many good photographers out there!...

[ruralguy]

Hi everyone. My name is Sean Branconier and i am from a small rural town called Rivers, in Manitoba Canada. I have a passion for landscape and just capturing the moment in any place i can. I shoot canon and hope to go fullframe some day. In the mean time my little xsi will do. I am starting to tread different waters and will try my hand doing portraits shortly. I love using natural light but am starting to use strobes which is fun. My journey continues.

Hi Paul,

Please, please, don't just "listen in"; take part too - either ask questions or post image for critique.

What lens(es) do you use on the 40D?
