Hi, I have just joined ,this being my first post. Hope all goes well and I can pick up a lot of info.

Hi new to the whole photo thing in general I fell in love with David Doubilet's work.
I've only just purchased a DSLR camera last week, (Nikon D60) all photos i've taken and uploaded have been on a digital compact.(Fuji FD-50/Olympus FE-140)
Was looking for hints and tips to make my photos better. If you've any pointers at all i'd be very grateful.
Thanks H

Hi

As you can guess I'm new here. I recently decided to make more of a hobby of my photography and so have come here to learn what I can, pick up ideas and generally appreciate the great photos on display.

Thanks

 

Hi All

Found you searching for Digital Cameras on Google I am no expert and never will be just trying to learn some tricks.

Hi all.

I have been in and out of this site for a couple of months now, but only just decided to say hello.

I shoot with a Pentax K110D with the standard kit lens, and a Sigma 70-300 which I am very happy with.

Into many styles of shooting, but prefer seascapes.

I can be found on Redbubble most of the time.  


If you are on there, drop me a BM and say hello, and add me to your watchlist.

Hi.

 I’m new to the forum, although I have entered the resent photographer of the year

competition and uploaded some images to the Gallery, I’ve never ventured into this part

of the site.

I’m from Northampton and belong to a local camera club and enjoy entering their competitions

and being involved in their various exhibitions around the town.

My photography mainly revolves around early morning landscapes in the local area or

landscapes in coastal regions, otherwise anything that catches my eye.

Use mostly digital (Nikon D80) but still love to use slide film occasionally (hope I don’t

get thrown off site for that!).

Hello from the Maldive Islands.
Photography is a hobby for me, at least for now. Hope to improve it as I shoot-along. I don't really think I am a good photographer but I try to improve, as I said. This is a nice forum, as here in Maldives it is hard to come by any Photography magazines or books. Whatever I learned it is all the readings and experiments.

Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner.

I shoot from Nikon. Most of the time.

Hi all,

My name is David, I’m new to the site also. Photography is a hobby of mine, I shoot with a Canon 450D SLR and a Samsung Digimax A7 camera.
Look forward to conversing with you all, and getting lots of tips and constructive criticism with my gallery to help improve my shots.

Thanks

Hi

First post on the site.  I've been subscribing to Digital Camera for a couple of years, but I've only just noticed the website.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose

Hi, another newbie.

I'm Neil, have been interested in photography on and off since I was about 12 when I bought a Zenith Photosniper (crazily), bought my first digital compact in 2003, and that brought photography back into my interest.

Have owned a Nikon D200 for a couple of years, about the same time I subscribed to the mag, with 18-70mm DX and 70-300mm VR DX Nikkor lenses.

Hopefully I will be able to pick up some tips and things from the more experienced people on the site. :)

Hi all,

I'm Jen, i'm an art student at the mo but hoping to go onto do Photography at University. I've loved photography for as long as i can remember. I currently use a Nikon D40x but since i'm a skint student i still only have the kit lens and a 70-300mm 1.4-5.6G (which is actually borrowed!), and other basic kit.

It's all a bit daunting as a lot of the photos on here are fantastic. So if anyone is good enough to take time out and look over my stuff and leave me some constructive comments i'd be very grateful!

Cheers!

Hi,

I joined the site a couple of years ago, but I didn't venture on to the forums until a couple of months ago when I was looking for some advice about locations in New Zealand.

My parents bought me my first camera when I was aged eleven, a Kodak Ektra12, and I soon developed an eye for a great landscape picture.  The camera was very very basic and I begged and pleaded with my parents to buy me an SLR.  Eighteen months later I received a Pentax K1000 and this is what really ignited my passion for photography.  I spent any available time I had reading photo magazines for tips on taking landscapes and then trying to put them into practice.  I acquired a few filters and a telephoto zoom lens, though by now I was studying for exams and I found I had less and less time to donate to my photography.  In fact, I relished when it was time for the summer holidays because this seemed to be the only time I could find to take any pictures. 

I remember going to Austria in '86 and being amazed at the stunning scenery in the Tyrol.  Whilst out walking near Westendorf I took a panoramic picture of the whole valley, whilst leaning on a stout wooden fence because I had no tripod, that consisted of six overlapping photos.  I asked a local photographer to mount it for me and my parents still have it hanging in their hallway.

I left school and went to college to study business and finance, but they ran photography classes on a Wednesday afternoon.  This was mainly studio work which didn't really interest me and I started to lose my interest in taking pictures, particularly after leaving college and starting work.  I sold my K1000 and eventually bought a Pentax SF7, but because of work committments and a lack of money I found it difficult to get anywhere to take any pictures.  My camera was so heavy it gave me a bad neck when I spent a day at a motor show, another passion of mine, in Birmingham so I decided to ditch the 35mm and try using a digital compact.  This was much lighter, but I was so limited by what I could do with it I went and bought a more advanced model and took it on holiday with me to Canada.  Once again my passion for photography had been reignited and the following year I travelled through Scotland to the Isle of Skye.  Again, I soon realised its limitations too and now have an Olympus E410 with three lenses, a set of nd filters and a circular polarising filter.  Next year I going to New Zealand for 3 and a half weeks and I intend to come back from their with a whole portfolio of great shots of this diverse country.  Firstly though, I'm looking to attend a course to help me get to know my DSLR so I can realise both it and my own potential.

Hi there!
My name is Neil, I am 39 yrs old and I have joined up as am hoping to pick up some tips and learn more about digital photography in general. Over the years I have owned various digital compacts and have recently taken the plunge with a DSLR. The camera I have bought is a Nikon D60 with a 18-55mm kit lens and I have a very basic understanding of my camera's functions and settings at the moment. I am particularly interested in outdoor and scenery pictures, especially low light dusk/dawn views.The most frustrating thing for me is that I can be out and about and although I am getting the "mentality" where I can see something and think "that would make a good photo", I struggle with getting the correct camera set-up and more often than not, miss the shot or the light changes etc.
