introductions

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...

Jason, I live in Andrews Afb,MD. I use Nikon cameras

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

Hey everyone. I've been on the site for a few days looking around and decided to join. Recently back into photography as a hobby. Alexander

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/...

Hi everyone ;) My name is Maciek, I found this forum by accident, but after reading couple of threads I think I like to stay in here for little longer. I'm photographic enthusiast constantly looking for perfection in my photo art and perfection in my camera gear setup 😅

This will be brief. My name is Steve and I discovered this website tonight by way of my entry into Google's search engine. I am used to creating threads on another platform called wdwmagic. A typical thread by me looks like this... *...

Hello All Joined the forum for info, sometime help and sometime giving advice when I know the problem. After my retirement as marine engineer I started with the Olympus E500, later the E620 and now the EM5 MKII. All years I enjoyed my equipment, special the size and weight of camera and lenses...

Hi all, my name is Ian, been lurking on this site for a while, and I just love looking through the huge diversity of images posted, and the always honest helpful (and humorous) comments that go with them. So much friendlier than some sites I've tried in the past, so I've decided it's now time to...

Hi everyone! I usually don’t have many accounts on websites or write in forums. I’m actually trying to sell some photo equipment but thought I can say hi and maybe have a nice chat while I’m at it. Some info about myself: I’m a parttime photographer, fulltime parent and I will be starting a...

Hi all, Been lurking these forums for a while and figured I may as well start posting. I pretty much take pictures of birds and the places where I happen to be looking at birds. I've learned a lot from reading posts on this and other forums (mu43 and dpr) over the past year and look forward to...

Hi everyone, my name is Tony Beale and I am just saying hello and introducing myself to everyone. I enjoy most forms of photography, especially wildlife and nature and I am looking forward to being an active member of this forum. I currently shoot with Fuji and Panasonic cameras and lenses.

Hi, I am Jay. I am in Sugar Land, Texas. My first real camera was a Kodak Retina IIa. That is when I fell in love with rangefinders. I used my brother’s M3 on occasion and had a Canonette for a while. After that it was Nikon SLRs and DSLRs. I have now back in the Leica fold with a CL and a M10-R.

I have been a member there for a long time, but things change. Here is my last photo posted there: Fantasy Island, Ingoldmells Edited in Affinity Photo v2. Best Regards, Mark Thornton

I found this site and hope that the people here are allot more friendly than the last one, I have been into photography for a long time shot with Nikon DF, still have my FE I am into woodworking and pen making, love ridding my bicycle last year rode almost 900 miles from 4-2022-10/2022

I'm a hobby photographer from way back when. I enjoy shooting with stock and full spectrum converted digitals. Glad to see a UV/IR topic on the forum list.
