About

Cameraderie.org 📷

Welcome to Cameraderie!

This is a friendly forum for photographers from around the world who love photography, gear, and good company. Our members are diverse in terms of geographic location, age, photographic interests, and experience. We all enjoy showing our work and seeing that of others, and are happy to share what knowledge we have and to learn from others.

Some Things To Know...

By default, email notifications from the site are enabled. You can opt out of receiving email updates and alerts by updating your preferences here: https://cameraderie.org/account/account-details -- Don't forget to click "Save Changes" after making your choices!

You can start a new discussion (thread) at any time by using the "Post New Thread" button. To reply to an existing thread, scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "Write your reply...", type there, and then choose "Post Reply".

To include an image in any post, choose "Attach Files" to select your image and then choose "Insert" & then "Full Image". To make it even easier, you can simply drag your image into the editor.

The little image shown next to your forum posts is called an avatar. To upload a custom avatar, go to https://cameraderie.org/account/avatar.

What some other sites call PMs (private messages), we call "Direct Messages" or "DM". To start a DM with anyone, click on their avatar and choose "Send direct message".

The top of every page contains links to "What's New" to quickly show discussion threads with recent activity. On your mobile devices, or small screens, you'll see a lightning bolt icon instead of "What's New"; clicking the bolt icon shows the same results.

Typing the "@" symbol followed by a member’s username creates a user tag within your post. This sends an alert (notification) to that member that they have been mentioned and gives them a link to your post.

You can control your account preferences, such as what emails and alerts you get, here: https://cameraderie.org/account/preferences.

For your security, please do not use the same password here that you use on other sites. You can change your password at https://cameraderie.org/account/security. For added security, we offer an option for two-step verification (TFA) at https://cameraderie.org/account/two-step.

Unlike other sites we do not rely upon advertising. Yep, no ads! They annoy us as much as they annoy you. If you wish, you can support us in a different way. We offer account upgrade options for those who would like to donate directly. Or if you buy anything from Amazon, Adorama, Ebay, etc, using our links, that helps us a great deal as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to post in our Announcements and Feedback forum. If you want to keep your feedback private so that only our volunteer moderators see it, post in the Mods Team Support.

We hope you enjoy the site! 🙂
