introductions

Long time member at POTN that had gotten away from the hobby for the last several years, and now that I am reitiring, looking to get back into it. Was sorry to hear that POTN had closed, Pekka did an awesome job! Anyone know if the old content is archived anywhere?

Hello. I'm a longtime "life moment" photographer who is spending more time (and money) on the craft as I approach retirement. I am a dedicated amateur and avid gear head, going directly from my iPhone to Leica and Hasselblad, much to my bank account's dismay. I have no plans to sell my work or...

Hello everyone! I'm 44 years old and have been on this photography journey for 18 years. I'm looking forward to talking about photography and seeing your photos. Greetings to all!

Hallo! My first post here at Cameraderie… but have been over at mu-43 for a while now. 🙂 Hallo to all the folk I know and recognise from other sites and members here at cameraderie. M43, and mostly shoot using my trusty old Olympus E-M10 II — though the iPhone is awfully handy sometimes...

Hey, i just registered to this forum. I own a nikon d3200 and looking forward to see tricks and tips and stuff i should be knowing about taking good pictures. Its good to be here.

New here, and still trying to figure out out to post. I'll try with the following image, taken from a Jeffry Gibson installation at Mass MoCA in North Adams, MA.

This looks like a very good forum, with many great categories. I've been on Photonet [ericphelps] for some years and it's great, but encountering many tech issues and often tons of unrestricted spam. I occasionally go to FujiX-forum [eric26], but find it far more gear oriented than my interests...

Hi there! I’ve recently been diving deeper into photography and have been using a Canon EOS R6 Mark II for a while now, focusing mainly on wildlife and landscape shots. I stumbled across this forum thanks to a suggestion from another community member, and I’m excited to learn more and be part of...

hello, i am a hobbyist photographer who lives in seattle, but i am originally from the east coast been trying different photo forums to see which ones i like i do nature and macro photography on digital typically since some of the new camera features really help, but everyday shooting on film...

Hello to you all! I love the look and feel and flow of this site. Well done!

Hi all. Some people here will recognise my name from elsewhere, but for those hundreds who don't, my name is Kev, and I have been a keen (more serious) photographer for around 40 years now, starting when I got my first Minolta SLR , a 7000i, when I was 20. I've made my way through several...

Hello from Canada! I just found this site and love the street/documentary photos and find it inspiring to see other people's work. In my semi-retirement I've recently got into the vintage digicam trend for everyday street photography. I prefer using an actual camera rather than a mobile phone...

Hi, I'm very new to cameras outside of a smartphone. The first cameras are a Mamiya RB67 with a 180mm lens and a M645 1000S with 55mm, 80mm and 150mm lenses. There are also some Hasselblads but I'm not sure if I would use anything other than the Mamiya M645 because of weight. I'm sure I will...

Hello everyone

Hello everyone! I'm from Upstate NY USA, (think hills, forests, and dairy farms; NOT skyscrapers) Anyway, I notice that there are Theme Threads in many of the subs here. So I was wondering what the general protocol is? If there's a Theme Thread that fits always post to it first? Create one if...

I've already semi met a few of you but I thought I'd make it official. Clint here, looking forward to sharing my work and being inspired by you all. Glad to be a part of this community. 🌞

Hello everyone, I came here because I am interrested in photography. I prefer wildlife photography, especially birds even if they are hard to take on picture! Angie

I have just joined as this seems a friendly and Informative forum. I have an Olympus em1 mkiii and a few lenses, ithough I am always looking at other makes😂! I tend to take pictures of most things apart from portraits or indoor stuff, definitely an outdoors person and always drawn to the coast.

Kia Ora! (Hello) My name is Emeill, I'm 17! I just recently got more interested in photography and wanted to find some forums where I can meet new people with the same interests and learn. I'm not 100% sure if this Forum is dead, but I'll find out XD I'm not sure what type of photography I...

Hi I'm a newbie from North Essex England, I've been enjoying photography since the early 70s, film and now digital as well, looking forward to enjoying and contributing to the forum. Thanks Boz

Hello, I'm Eric from Rio de Janeiro. I've found this place by chance today and I'm very glad that I did. Best regards

I'm relatively new here, and already starting to feel at home. I owned a portrait studio for 20 years. The last 5 years or so I became burnt out, so I decided to sell my business. My cellphone became my camera of choice for the last 14 years. I'm just now feeling the urge to photograph again...

hi, i joined a couple of days ago, i have already posted a couple of photos. i have been an avid photographer since the mid 80s i had a darkroom for a couple of decades, then i kind of slacked up when digital came on strong. but now i am back. i am glad to be here,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I am on the southern-tier of the Great Lakes, in my 60s. My old man used to make me develop his negatives as a chore 50 years ago, but also let me use his Minolta srt, which I still have. Whenever I tripped over a used film camera during the last few decades I liked I would grab it if it was...

Hello all. I've bounced around a lot all my life and I am currently up in the Tallgrass Prairie/Farmlands of northwestern Minnesota. I've been creating images since the 1970's and look forward to participating in Cameraderie.org.

Hi all. Been kicking around on POTN for years and thought I would look into new homes.

I'm a writer and photographer who sometimes combines the two. Looking forward to interacting here! I use a Leica SL2 or Nikon D850 depending on what I"m doing.

Just wanted to say hello. I was using the Photo on the net forums (POTN) until they closed at the end of the year. I love to shoot anything, but nature/birds/wildlife seem to be ones I take the most. Thanks, Matt

I have been looking around for a little while and decided to join. I took up photography roughly 50 years ago and transitioned from film to digital in 2002. I have a fondness for primes. In the analog era, I was a hard core Pentaxian and my first DSLR was a Pentax. Ten years ago, I switched to...

Hello Everyone. My name is Chuck and I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I'm 52 (soon to be 53). I've been married for 32 years. I have two daughters, and a cantankerous cat. I've worked in the commercial floor covering industry for 28 years, primarily in sales. Over that time, I've done about...

I've been an 'on and off' photo hobbiest since the 1980s. I'm hoping to find a home here with like minded photogs. I love looking at the works of the masters of old and do enjoy shooting, especially B/W. It seems like many forums are heavy on bird photography using big lenses and fast...

Hello folks, I came across this site from the dpreview.com/forums while doing research on a new camera. I did got a (and will be keeping) Nikon D90 and a few lenses. However, I am looking to get a compact camera that is capable of shooting RAW and can double at producing decent video. I had...

Hi there, as I said I found about it on POTN . I'm in Montreal, Canada.

Hi folks, yes another from POTN, but nothing lasts forever :crying:. That's sad but so very true. One of the things I find here is that it's a great difference with the black background. I'm retired and have bee since 1994 after I screwed um my back at work. Since then I have been making not...

Hey all. I'm moving here from POTN since it will be shutting down here within a matter of weeks. I personally stepped back from photography in 2015 for personal reasons. I used to do photography full time as my main source of income. But with the rising cost of health care, I needed to find a...

Hi I have only a very amateur knowledge of photography but I am retired and now unfortunately on my own. I need something to fill my days and have determined that I will take up photography as my hobby and hence the reason for joining this forum. I currently use my S7 mobile to take my photos...

Native Midwesterner, now in Idaho- Looking forward to viewing great images from the community, and sharing some of my own nature and wildlife pics. :)

Somewhere around the 100th meridian. Looking forward to seeing more of the nice work here and throwing a few into the mix.

I live in an agricultural area so I typically need to drive hundreds of miles to find scenic beauty but it does exist in Minnesota. I just have to hit the road more often.

Hello, All! Glad to find another community out here. I'm (yet another) refugee coming from our previous community (POTN) that I just saw is shutting down. Sad news there, but understandable. I have been doing digital wildlife/nature/landscape/etc photography since the early 00s and enjoy...

I've just joined - and am trying to find an avatar photo I used a few days ago! I'm originally from Yorkshire, so I consider myself an expat having moved almost 240 miles south to Sussex. As you might reasonably infer from my memory lapse alluded to above, I am out of my teens, being now 20...

New here, I've been involved with photography since I was 14 (I am now 70). This was my first photo ...and this was my last (as of today)

Hi, Pippan from Darwin here, another POTN refugee. This looks like a friendly site so I look forward to meeting a few people here. I'm not new to photography though for the last two years I've been focusing (see what I did there?) on bird photography. I'm always keen for discussion about birds...

I am following some other folks from POTN which has been a long time watering hole for me and will miss it. A lot of good responses from others on this site and looking forward to being part of a new family. I am living in the Pacific Northwest east of Seattle and have since moving here from...

Just thought I'd say hello as I joined the site today. I am a Scot, living in Norway and have been into photography many years. Used to be a Canon guy but have shot with Fuji for the last 6 years. My main (only?) area of interest, or genre, is b&w street shots, so will be mainly active in that...

Just moved here from POTN which is closing soon. Just moved to Taiwan from the States a couple months ago.

Hello everyone ;) I’m relatively new to photography - about 8 years or so, and am completely self taught, therefore more than a little rough around the edges! I live in France. So pleased to have found this forum. Looking forward to joining in The search filters on my chosen cam site allow me to...

Guys, Some gay porn movies also explore the theme of "coming out" and the struggles and triumphs associated with embracing and expressing one's sexual identity. https://gayporn.name/models/nate-grimes/ https://freegayporn.club/models/mason-wyler/...
