Introduce Yourself

[Melio]

Hi there... not sure if I ever did this. I've been on the newsletter thing forever, but have never really come over to the forums and I thought it was a good time to do so. I've been into photography as long as I can remember and have started (finally) taking the steps to make it a business of sorts. I just started a website and had my first client (guinea pig ) and am trying to find my way. I hope to get to know some of you here and continue to learn and better my skills.

I can't remember if I already posted to the introductions forum, but then again, I am nearly stricken with absentmindedness due to overloading my proverbial plate!
Anyway, I am Christina, aka Hotflash and I am here to learn, and read and generally just improve my photography... I wake up every day hoping to learn something new, and I am never bored, just way too darned busy. Glad to be here and have the opportunity to learn as much as I can. I hope to post a few of my photos to get un-biased opinions and serious constructive criticism, because of course my husband is biased and I can't get him to say anything except, "I LOVE IT!" Looking forward to an actual critique! hahaa! I have wedding shoots in my very near future, and need to beef up my non-flash lighting skills. So much forum to read, so little time...

Howdy folks.

Just found this site and realized it has a TON of information that I hope to glean from it.
I am a retired firefighter that loves photography and am learning all I can, while I can.
I would probably be labeled an "enthusiast" at best, but it's all fun. Hopefully I can learn more while I am on here and I hope to chat with you in here soon.
Cheers.
Randy

Hi all,
I just bought a Canon Rebel T3, graduating from the point-and-shoots. I'm an utter novice with DSLRs, but wanted to buy and learn how to use one, since I travel a couple times a year. Looking forward to learning all that's out there.

Hi im Sam

Im starting out on a dslr, well actually an SLT, i use an Sony A35 which is a SLT, Im only 14 so if I dont understand sorry, and im also on a budget of around £150 for anything.
I have a 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens, Im waiting for my timer release to arrive and looking at buying a tripod or a flash. I would appreciate any advice as to how I can make the ost out of my photogrpahy. I am specifically interested in macro, which conincidently happens to be one of the most expensive, depending on the extensivness of your equipment. But Im new to this and I apreciate an advice.

Im trying all sorts of weird ideas that I would never dream of if I still used my Tz4. If anyone knows any second-hand stuff that would be sutiable then please mention. Macro lens, extension tubes, flashgun, tripod, and anything else interesting.

Hey, I'm suzanne aka foodbytes. I'm an semi-old lady living in Canada's capital and I love to bore my friends with my pictures. I'm a point and shot person. I thought I might want to move up but then I read the oh-so-helpful dslr/point and shoot 101 article posted here and no, I think I'll stick with this one. Great read! really opened up my eyes.
I have two cameras, both P & S. the nikon coolpix 5700 and a brand new Canon Powershot SX150 IS. the specs on the new one totally blow the Nikon away but man, I miss the swivel monitor and the real viewfinder.
I'm a slow learner and (over the years, so many years...) have been trying to wean myself away from the automatic/scene modes and venture into the world of ISO/f-Stops/shutter speeds. I hope to learn much from the members here.
I've been told I have an 'eye', whatever that means. Personally I think its just because I take hundreds of shots, thereby increasing the odds of a semi-good one. And really, its not like my friends are going to say 'your pictures suck' to my face, now are they....
