Hi another new person. I have a Cannon Rebel T1i. I became serious about photography a few years ago. I am hoping to learn a lot and share what I know. Also looking for lots of feedback good and bad but detailed so I can improve my photos.

Hello Everyone,
I am new here just signed up a few minutes ago.. I have been shooting with an advanced point and shoot a Canon S5 IS for about 4 years and last year in April I made the leap to my very first DSLR. I bought a used Canon Digital Rebel 300D and bought a couple of lenses and started getting serious with my love of photography. I now have a Canon 50d just purchased used as well a few months ago and have kept my 300d as a back up. Actually I usually take both bodies out shooting. I have a couple of lenses.. Canon EF 50mm 1.8 prime lens, a Non IS Canon EF-S 18-55mm, a Canon EF-S 55-250mm, and a Canon EF 28-135mm.

I took a beginner Basic Digital Photography class last spring at a community college and this spring I am taking the Intermediate level class and really enjoying it.

I have been using Lightroom 3 for the past year and my post processing program and just finally upgraded to a newer laptop for my processing work.

My favorite kinds of photography are outdoor, Nature/Wildlife/Landscape photography and then street scenes and Architecture are another favorite.. I guess I like just about every kind of photography except for Portraits and Wedding photography simply because I think it is so difficult to capture and pose people in specific settings.

Looking forward to gaining a lot of knowledge from others on this site..

Greetings. I'm a newb, trying to learn the camera and improve my gear on the cheap. In January I bought an XT, then a friend sold me a 20D, which I used for an entire weekend before another friend gave me her 30D! I've gone from the trifecta of crap lenses (18-55, moldy 75-300, and 80-200 which doesn't seem quite as bad as people say) to the newer IS kits lenses, 18-55 & 55-250. Most people recommend a 50/1.8 but I think I'd rather have something around 35 +/- for the crop sensor if I get a prime.

Hello all!
My name is Kendra. I've been studying photography for about a year now, basically trying to teach myself. A lot of trial and error and reading ect...
I'm here to learn. Whether it is by reading posts, having my pieces critiqued or finding links to articles that may be helpful.

Other than that, I'm a wife and mother living in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in California. Which is awesome because I have access to beautiful scenery and kids who are very patient with me and allow me to use them as guinea pigs lol.
I look forward to meeting and learning from you all =D

Hello everyone! New member here. Been away from this great hobby for a long time and now want to get back into it. I still have my old film cameras and a "newer" digital point and shoot that is about 6-7 years old. I've been doing a lot of reading and learning about the DSLRs and I'm planning to purchase one soon. Meanwhile, I will continue to read, and enjoy as many posts as I can on this great site.

Hi folks my name is Geoff and I have just joined your community, I shoot with a Nikon D90 with various lenses, what my gripe is how expensive it is to go over a 70-300 lens, so I bought a Sony HX100V to get the extra reach, wow this camera zooms in up to 1/2 a mile away in digital and the results are not pixelated, only gripe with this camera is the EVF other than that it looks like a good buy, though it will not get used as much as the D90.

Hi All,

Newbie here after getting a Canon 600D for my birthday. Well when I say newbie, I did do a fair amount of slide work with my Canon A1 around 25 yrs ago, but then fell away from it. Forgot how much I enjoyed taking pictures, so back on the saddle :-)

[Driftw00d]

Hi there, I'm Danny and I just signed up on these forums. I was looking for a good community to basically bounce ideas off of, get feedback, see other people ideas etc... preferably one that is pretty laid back, yet serious about improvement. Seems pretty nice to me! I guess this is where I should introduce my self a little?

Basically, I first took photography in my senior year of high school, using a 1981 Canon. That was almost 10 years ago. I've gone back to school and I've been an art major for the past 2 years. I just finally bought my first Digital SLR (I've wanted it for SO long). I've realized through the past two semesters that it still is my #1 passion, and I want to work towards hopefully making a career through some sort of photography/digital editing/graphic design. I'm transferring to finish up my last two years of college next semester, and I'm trying to improve my skills in those areas as much as possible over the summer. I REALLY would like to quit my current job before going to school full time, so I must improve ASAP! I had a very productive semester this time. I won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in our little student art exhibition, in the digital photography category, and I was surprised and amazed that two of them sold. It's not much, but it was really cool to make money off the work I've done for the first time!

I think this place seems like a very nice community and I'm excited to join.

[paulD02]

Hi All,
New to this. I am a bit lost on this forum stuff.
I wanted info on my old Canon Powershot A80 & the faulty CCD sensor?
But it seems I need 5 posts !! HELP?

[julestx]

Ditto! How do we get our post count up to 5 when we aren't allowed to post anywhere until we have 5 posts?

[Frog]

Welcome, julestx. I'm not positive how it is working now but part of the reason for needing 5 posts is to help reduce spam.
I think the 5 post rule is for posting links or starting threads, so if you have no links or are only replying to started threads, your count will increase rapidly.
Anyway, your up to two, so keep at it.

[amariaj]

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum and fairly new to photography. I'm looking forward to learning and sharing.

[agaduc996]

Hello all, long time forum stalker first time poster. Pretty new to DSLR shooting. Own a residential contracting company and got a Canon XS simply for taking photos of our projects. 18 months ago I had a little bundle of joy enter the world and found a whole new reason to click the shutter. Of course your friends and family can only stand you showing pictures of the same baby for just so long....even if she is the most perfect thing in the world. But now i just want to take pictures of everything. People in the park, cool and unusual architecture, sporting events. What ever I can do to learn how different adjustments make changes to the end result. I have lurking in the photo critique forum and learning from the advice from many of the members on what makes a good photo. Not even close to pretending I know what I am doing but thought it was about time I thank the members and show what i have learned so far. And I promise it will not be all baby photos.

[Frog]

I could never figure out why people got tired of looking at the baby photos of my grandkids either.
Glad you have become more than a lurker.
As for the critique forum, I critique frequently, not because I'm an expert but because it teaches me.
Hope to see some pics from you soon.

Oh Hi There,

Getting a new hobby up and running but more than just interested. I like Macro photography. I have a Canon 20D on the way and just about to purchase a tripod. Going to get cam and acquire lenses, then get nicer cam down the road. Yes, I already know this is the way to do it...I do research on every penny that leaves my pocket.

[agaduc996]

Yes I have seen you over there in Critique. Good point on learning from giving criticism. Will be post up soon as I can find 2 more reasons reasons to post with out being annoying to get in my 5 post. Here's #3

[Pat67]
