[stepheno]

I'll go along with that Ian, good idea. Welcome to all new members.

[SammyC]

I think this can also cover the huge amount of photos that appear in the Sharing section, there are just too many to look at and not get fired!

So, a big hello to all the new people and a big sorry to all the good effort that I don't get the time to view and comment on :(

:)

[IanC_UK]

Don't know why I didn't think of this slightly less lazy way to say Hiya :wave:

[dod]

bump for this and a way for me to catch up and say Hi to everyone I've missed in the last few weeks :)

[Darksider]

Being relatively new here myself I would just like to thank you for the welcome and :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: to all who have joined after I did.

Blimey! So many new people... a huge welcome to you all :D Enjoy the forums and make yourself at home ;)

[Racing Toast]

Not sure what happens next!!

I'm new to all this, found this website via Colab.

I bought myself a Canon 400D a few months ago and have been on a steep learning curve.

I last used a SLR about 35 years ago (yes I am getting on a bit) and then went to point & shoot. I have now come back to digital SLR and am trying to remember what I know all those years ago.

This is the first forum type website I have used and can't say that I particularly understand what a thread is, however here goes.

[Jason]

Hello and Welcome

[photostar_1]

Hello, hello, hello :wave: to all you new people I haven't yet caught up with. Welcome to the best forum in the world!

[Jonnyreb]

Sorry newbies - I've been shockingly poor at hellos and welcomes for a couple of weeks.... so....

:wave:HELLO AND WELCOME :wave:

[Waterworx]

Hi guys, :help: new to this forum. Found my first problem though- I can't post a thread, only replies. And also I can't upload any piccies- please help! :thinking: oh and hello to you all :thumbs: Al

[Marcel]

Hello.

If you can only post replies, it seems you may not have activated your account.
When you sign up, you should receive an activation email to the address you supplied. This contains a link you need to click on (Which basically is to prove that the email address you supply is real...it stops false registrations).

I'll take a look at your account for you :)
Gimme 2 ticks.

[Marcel]

Yup, I've just checked, and it seems your still 'Awaiting Email Confirmation'.
However, it's not your fault. It seems the email to you got bounced back to us by your ISP (Their fault).

So I've manually activated your account, and you should be able to post new threads and upload pictures to your gallery space now :thumbs:

[Glen]

Can a say a BIG hello to all the new folk, I do try and keep up, but I've been very busy past 2 weeks and i know I've missed quite a few peeps.

Welcome to TPF!!!! :wave:

[Waterworx]

Sorry Marcel, just tlooked at this thread again. Thank you for activating me, I blame crappy AOL :D

Cheers :thumbs:

[Witch]

I blame AOL for everything.....it just saves time in the long run! ;)


Hellooooooooo to all the new people! :wave:

[Waterworx]

It's just so slow down here lately, apparently their working on the broadband lines so we're on a temporary BT line, that= :razz:
Moving soon, so if anyone can reccomend a 'good' ISP :D
:thumbs:

[Marcel]

BE*, if your exchange is enabled and your line is good enough. As an ISP I've found them first rate. Their CS is in bulgaria, but contrary to my other experiences with indian call centres, I have found these people to be excellent.

Submit a ticket and they will always work WITH you to get any problem sorted. They are willing to try technical tweaks, they know what theyre talking about and are very very helpful.

Can't recommend them highly enough if I'm honest.

[Waterworx]

Sorry Marcel, don't suppose you have a nice handy link, please :D

[Marcel]

[Waterworx]

Thank you :D

Thanks! Just a few of NZ scenery. I'm not a "real" photographer so don't expect anything startling...;)

[IanC_UK]

Thanks! Just a few of NZ scenery. I'm not a "real" photographer so don't expect anything startling...;)

Anybody that holds a camera is a real photographer here, its only levels of experience that make a shot different, and how would we learn if we didnt put pics up and ask for advice or comments on them ! :) welcome aboard :)

[sjdc]

Hello, another newb here to join the masses :)

edit:

quick question: what sort of size is most prefered when posting pictures, like 800x600? 1024x768? etc

[Marcel]

The rules are, if you're showing your pictures directly in a post, then the maximum size is 800 pixels along the longest edge.

Above that, and you provide a clickable link instead :)

[windward123]

Hi I have just joined the Site but am struggling a bit to find my well around at present. My intertest is wildlife/landscape photography and am retired. My photography is solely a hobby but I was lucky enough to get the judges choice vote in this years BBC Countryfile Comp. Talk Photography was mentioned by a fellow photographer pal and I am very impressed with all the info there is available

[Marcel]

I've resent it to your address to be sure :)

Have another looksee :)

Welcome to the forums Windward, and congrats on the countryfile result! Nice to see people are spreading the TP word around :)

Greetings one and all. Thought I might as well post in here rather than start a new topic.

[ny-gee]

Thank's for the welcome to you all

[Ian D J]

Hi, everyone. My name's Ian, am coming up to 41 and am from Kent, UK. Although I've always been interested in photography all my life, it's only very recently when I treated myself to a Nikon D40 have I been really into it. Now I'm addicted and cannot stop.
This web site was shown to me by another forum user and thought I'd check it out - and I do like the friendly look about it where it's got that "anyone can join in, don't be nervous" kind of feeling about it, along with a lot of excellent photos. In fact, a lot of them puts my own efforts to shame!
In time, once I get to feel my way around this web site, I shall display some of my stuff. But first I'd like to get to know who's the "head boy" and all the "prefects" and of course the regulars. Not to mention checking out all those photos (looks like there's a LOT to shift through so that'll keep me quiet for quite a while)
So, hello there everyone. :thumbs:

[Pirate Neilsouth]

Well you finally came over ;)

Welcome Ian D J! , Great to have you here

[Keltic Ice Man]

Hello and Welcome everyone. Welcome to the party, you realise its like Hotel California, once your here you will never leave http://forum.crystalxp.net/style_emoticons/default/bigboulay.gif

[chivers67]

Hi, I'm Peter and live in Surrey I have a BTEC in photographic design and shoot weddings, portraits and just for fun I like taking landscapes, floral and shots of my three daughters !

I'm thinking of buying a digital SLR real soon but for now I use a Nikon F4S (aka tank) a Hassleblad 500CM and digital compacts

[Lem]

Hello, my name is Lem; I enjoy photography but I am still at the beginners stage, but I am having fun learning the different skills, not very good at the technical stuff just yet apertures, ISO's and shutter speeds etc. Hoping to get ideas and information from the forums...I had better make a start:).

[Marcel]

Welcome to the forums Lem!

But didn't Shane kill you with a nade at the end of Series 5? I almost cried at that!
(TV series called The Shield for those that are thinking WTF? :D)

[slugone]

Just thought i'd follow the trend in here and say ello.
I am really into keeping Bonsai and want to learn the basics of photography so i can capture my trees in the best possible way. I also enjoy walking with the family and have some nice walks around here, which has some lovely wild life.
So other than taking pics of my Bonsai, wildlife (mainly birds) is what i want to concentrate on. I don't yet have a camera and am looking around for the best possible camera ( up to £100) to suit my needs.
Cheers Slugone:thumbs:

[Lem]

Welcome to the forums Lem!

Cheers Marcel, been looking through the site and there are some amazing pictures here. Hope to post some of my not quite so amazing but hopefully will be soon pictures in the near future :).

Never heard of 'Shield'...will have to Google later :)

[Marcel]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shield#Season_5

The season concluded with Shane Vendrell murdering his friend and fellow team member Lem with a hand grenade.

:D

It's an American police style show, very gritty, shot in the hand held cam style. Ace storylines, great acting. Plus its got Forest Whittaker in for a few seasons, brill stuff :D

[Sumanta]

Hi Talk Photography,
I am new to you and this country.

I am from India.
I obviously am passionate about photography. Loves old manual cameras and started digital too.
Currently I have a 350D with the kit lens and some screw mounted lens like 85f1.9 Takumar, 135f2.8 JCPenny and Russian f3.5, 200 f3.5, 58f2, 35f2.8 and a Pentax K1000 that I bought last Saturday in a car boot sale in Hounslow west.

I love to shoot portrait, landscape and candid/street shots.
I am associated to our own small webpage in India which is www.photos2net.com
Please visit both for me and my friend. Your constructive comments/suggestions will be assets for us.

Some of my shots are in www.flickR.com/photos/juinbrishti
I am looking forward to enjoy your friendship here in London.

Sumanta
