STICKY:  Member introductions

G'day All. My name is Trevlyn, I'm 38, I like long walks on the beach, sunsets and a good latte. I've just gotten back into photography after an extended hiatus, my current setup is a nice 500D with the (spoken with a whisper) twin lens kit.

Working in the aviation industry, I like to take photos of aircraft (gee, big surprise), and being an avid motorcycle rider (I own a Yamaha R1) means I also like to take photos of bikes, although riding and shooting photos at the same time has so far eluded me, but I'm working on it.

I'm in the Army, and have been to Afghanistan on a number of occasions, and before you ask, no, I won't get into a debate over it. I've got some very good (well, I think they are) photos from there, especially sunsets with aircraft in them (can you see a trend here).

Like all beginners, I'm experimenting with just what my camera is capable of. I am open to suggestion, criticism, or even outright derision. Now, if I can just remember where I put my body armour and helmet....

Oh, we're not that harsh, Trev, but you can learn a lot from most of our members.

Welcome, and welcome to all of the new members. I can't wait to see you guys get out there and posting new images for us to enjoy.

Hello, I am fairly new to posting but have been lurking reading threads periodically for a couple of years.

My name is Jenn (obviously) and I am a training specialist by day and a million other things by night. I live in the Pittsburgh area and love all things Pittsburgh, even though I did not grow up here. My interest in more serious photography surfaced when my Canon point and shoot would no longer do everything I wanted to do. I moved to an XSI and then a year later to a 5D II.
My favorite types of photography are probably weather, landscape/nature, and architecture. I am planning a trip to some of the great National Parks in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona this summer and really looking forward to shooting some beautiful landscapes. I am a little nervous that I won’t get the results I am hoping for, though.

I appreciate the expertise and willingness to answer questions I see in these forums.

maybe, instead of starting my own selfish, egocentric thread, I should have just posted here... but the damage is done ..

here is the waste of bandwidth : https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=851575

Either way - grad student. hauling from the great ATX, just got myself a 350D with a whole bunch of extras

Do not have a ton of experience, but concerts, modeling (women and groups), candids / cityscapes and "art" (abstract) seem to be my sort of a dance floor.

Looking to better myself in all of those ..

cheers ... you shall hear of me more as I get my new gear, and as I pick up learning

Cheers

I've been lurking for awhile and recently joined, but this is my first post. I am a novice photographer and mostly take pictures of my dogs and at conformation shows. I really enjoy seeing the creativity that everyone has in different areas. Thanks!

hello , I'm chris , I've been lurking for a while but if I'm going to learn it's time to start asking questions and get involved

New member, but longtime reader of these forums. I mainly shoot pics of my nieces, friends, random stuff around town. Bought my first DSLR in July 2008 (after about 6 years with a Canon S30) and have learned a ton about the technical side of things since then but still have a LONG way to go on actually implementing that knowledge into good pics!

Thanks for looking!

uh oh, excuse my threads in other sections..hi! im new to this.

My name is Randolph and I have been a member of POTN since 2007 but just got my first DSLR in April (2010). I like all types of photography (nature, urban, abstract, etc). I love taking bike rides with my equipment and finding things to photograph. I wouldn't mind meeting local photographers that would like to go exploring and shooting, or who wouldn't mind teaching.

hye and good day everybody..me zam a.k.a ahchoo.just a newbie in dslr/photography world.
need all ur advise.location perak/shah alam.
tq so much..

Hello everyone,

My name is Mark, and I hail from Kitchener, ON (Canada). I was a avid photographer in the film era ... and have migrated over to digital about a year ago. I am learning lots, and enjoying a passion once again!

I have been very impressed with the talent that is hanging around these forums! Looking forward to connecting with you online.

How's it going? My name is Drew. I'm from good ol' Austin, Texas. Got a my first DSLR about a year ago. I've moved from that Rebel XT, to a pair of 20Ds, and now to single 20D and a 30D. I'm just starting to get into sports photography, mainly Triatholons and Marathons (full and 1/2). I just got bored watching the lil woman racing, and decided instead of starting to race, I'd take pictures. I've always got my eye out for great bargin glass, the perfect working lens with a few specks of orginal paint left. It's nice to see beginners to pro's all in one place.

Howdy My name is Joe I am an addict- no scratch that wrong forum, but I am a flashaholic besides being a photographer. I am a stay at home grandfather that has to use a wheeled walker to get around due to spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. Ex USAF instructor. Former professional baby photographer in Cincinnatti Oh. Currently in the Volunteer state located centrally to Dale Hollow, Watts Bar, Center Hill lakes. I am a bass fisherman and collector of peanut pocketknives mostly Case. I have had two jobs that required photographic skills obviously the babys, but also as a jet engine quality control manager for a jet engine overhaul facility where all parts being sent out for repair had to have photos made prior to shipping. I got into digitals with a Fuji finepix that was given to one of my daughters when I upgraded to a slightly better Fuji. While visiting family in east Texas I saw a new Fuji S1000 fd and bought it on the spot, Here is where I mention I was in Dallas to have a triple bypass performed at the VA hospital. I celebrated getting out of the Hospital by hitting the Frys electronic store and acquiring a Canon T1i and 55-250IS to go with the kit lens and that started my downward spiral into digital obsession.

Yo everybody!

I'm Taylor. I got into photography when I was aroun 14/15 by picking it as an extra curruicular thing at school. Went to a photography specific school to learn the basics using an old Pentax ME Super. I can process my own B&W film and prints.

I've getting frustrated by the costs of getting B&W processed elsewhere (once I grew up and no longer had access to dark rooms) I lost a bit of interest and the camera gathered dust.

I went on a holiday to Japan earlier this year, and after getting frustrated with my little point and shoot (POS for a better acronym) I started to get the bug again.

Two weeks later I went out and picked up my first DSLR and I've got my photography eye back.

I'm now 20 years old and I reside in little Adelaide, Australia. I look forward to sharing my photos and thoughts with you guys! This seems a very active forum, so should be good for getting some critique.
