Hello, my name is Emmett, and this looks like a real friendly place. I'm a friendly guy and like photography very much. I retired from the portrait and wedding business three years ago, and only do what I like now. I'm currently working on a coffee table book about the birds around my part of the country. Glad to be here. I live in East Texas.

Your written English is very understandable.

I am very glad you have chosen CiC as the first international photography forum you have joined. I hope you enjoy being involved as a member and that we see many contributions from you.

Hello there and welcome to CiC. I hope you do find it helpful and that you can learn from the experience and knowledge of others on here.

One thing we do ask is the people use proper English rather than text speak. For many members English is not a first language. So, we all try to make sure communications can be understood by everyone.

My name is Mark and I've had a lifelong interest in photography, particularly sports, music, and landscape photography that exudes life and movement. I'm currently working towards a Royal Photographic Society Distinction and would really appreciate any help. My biggest issue right now is image quality.

I'm studying in Fife! Doing my HNC at college, but I think it will be my last year for study. Not for any negative reasons, just because i'm happy to move on to work, different experiences, etc. (:
Thanks for the welcome.

Hello to everyone. My name is Joseph and I live outside of Erie, Pennsylvania-USA in a very small Borough called North East. I have a Olympus C-750 Camera and just started taking a camera course locally. So far in 3 months I've learned so much about the usage of my camera and hope to continue. We have breath taking sunsets as I live right off Lake Erie and at night can see the lights of Canada. My wife is a published author of Romantic Suspense and writes under the name Nancy Kay. I'm looking forward to all the advance anyone is willing to offer.

A warm welcome to CiC Joseph. It's great to hear how passionate you are about your photography. Learning the ins and outs of your camera is a great way of improving your photography. We're a pretty helpful bunch here (I think! ) so you'll find that the members here will be more than happy to provide you with some helpful advice to help take your photography to the next level. Looking forward to seeing the landscape shots of your area and your other photos!
