Hi, I'm Tom from Kansas, USA. Looking forward to learning more about photography from this forum. Besides photography, my interests include golf, travel, and spending time with family and friends. I'm phasing into retirement after over 30 years as a consulting actuary, so I'll have more time to pursue my interests.

Hello Anni. Welcome to CiC.

I hope you enjoy being part of this forum and that it does help you to develop your abilities as a photographer.

Welcome Tom. Thanks for signing on to CiC.

I hope your looking forward to that move into retirement. From where I stand it sounds good.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy being part of the forum. Please do ask any questions and, of course, join in the discussions ans post up some of your pictures for comment. People approach that in a constructive manner and always seek to offer supportive guidance.

Hi members! my name is Lee and I am a beginner in photography.

Hello, Lee. good to have you here.

Push yourself to get off the auto settings. It will seem like hard work at first, but it will be well worth it. And certainly lots of poeple on here will be very happy to give you lots of support and advice.

By the way, so that you don't continue to get people asking you what your proper name is, because most us use that on here, you can go to Edit Profile and enter your proper name under 'Real Name'. Then it will appear underneath your Username in all your posts. You can also enter your location so that it does the same, just as in my details alongside this message. Then we all know where everyone is in the world.
