Hi

My name's Natasha Turner and obviously I am a keen photographer -well to be honest since I purchased my Nikon D90 3 years ago it has grown into an obsession and now a part time hobby business! I am always keen to learn as much as I can to enhance my photography and pick up all the tips that help along the way! I live in Surrey, London and which provides me with a mixture of urban and country surroundings to put my camera to work!

Good girl! (Nikon D90)

Hi Natasha,

Not too far from me then? (and I used to live in Englefield Green once)

Hope you like the forums, we do our best, well; Donald, Colin and Sean do, I just lower the tone of the place
So, that's laid to rest Donald's claim we're grown up here, eh?

Hope you enjoy your stay with us and long may it last.

Best regards,

[victor]

High,

My CIC name is Victor, my real name is David. I have recently joined the forum and must state that I am enjoying the posts, tutorials and albums I am seeing.

Life is about sharing and the mini competitions are a great idea. The members make this site stand out from others.

I am going to York next month any ideas of good spots for night photographs??

I belong to Bishops Stortford Camera Club and have a gallery there as well as here on CIC.

Best wishes to you all and thanks for all your comments on Broughty Ferry Castle !!

Victor aka David

My name is Gustavo, and I own a Canon SX30 IS.

Had been reading, and reading, and reading a lot more, until I felt confortable enough (and realising that I don't have budget to a dSLR + lens) to have a extra long-zoom camera before playing with big guns (dSLR).

Working in aviation industry for the past 5 years, now with commercial pilot and IFR license.

regards,

I am particularly interested in wildlife and natural landscape photography. I have quickly browsed the site and have seen some very nice landscape photos!

Looking forward to be part of this community!

Hi

I am looking forward to learning about film scanning and large format printing and EVERTHING related to photography. My equipment is comprised of 120 format film and 35mm Digital.

Being in South Africa offers me endless situations to document and express myself.

My father was shutter bug so my interesting in photography started at an early age. During high school years, I was involved in yearbook as an editor. I'm here to learn as well as share. I've shot film and digital.
The first pictures I took were with a Kodak 35mm camera that was my father's.

Hello , and a very warm welcome.

I don't know if you've been lurking around the site for any length of time. If you have, you've probably seen that this is very much a place that has learning and, particularly, supporting colleagues with their learning, is central to all that goes on.

So, I hope you feel able to join in, both sharing your own knowledge and experience as well as asking questions of others.

Hi Everyone,

I am RJ and have come here to share and learn. I have been involved with photography since the late 80's off and on, but got more serious about it in the last 8 years. I moderate a few forums and married to a Sport Photographer. He is the reason I have gained new interest in the photography field and he inspires me to do better.

I have gained more confidence and we will be shooting our 3rd wedding in September. Although I must admit my favourite topics are nature, landscape, and macro. See you all in the forum.
