I'm Deanna. I've just purchased my first DSLR (Nikon D80) and am waiting (impatiently) for the delivery, which is scheduled for this week. I'm looking to be stretched and to seek ways to improve (much as everyone else here). I'd love your feedback and critiques - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Hi All.
I'm Tom from Birmingham UK.
I have a Canon Powershot A430 which I love. I have recently begun to try using the manual settings instead of always using Auto.
I have also been attending Beginners Digital Photography lessons to try and learn how to take a good picture.
The results are mixed so far, a few good ones, but mainly average or poor.

Hello!
I'm fairly new to photography and yes, I still use a film camera (Minolta Maxxum 5 SLR). Sometimes on the fly I go digital with my trusty cameraphone.
I'm also starting my adventure into the world of manual settings instead of keeping my camera on auto.

Hi, I just bought my first DSLR almost a month ago, a canon 350d. I'm stepping up from a point and shoot, and so far, I'm very impressed. I try to shoot all manual, so that I can (hopefully) learn the advantages of a DSLR faster.

Hello everyone,

I just bought a Canon PowerShot S3 (not a fancey camera by any means but a step up for me) I have been taking photos for maybe a week and have so much fun while I am doing it! I was basically looking for a hobby and something to relax me and this is it. Im sure my photos are terrible, but I really really hope to learn and improve. Hopefully I will purchase a DSLR if this hobby sticks.

Hi I'm Maribeth from Michigan, USA.
I've been on Flickr for about a month now and am having fun looking around... I find that it can become quite addicting:) I just got a Nikon D40 DSLR and am trying to learn as much as I can about it and photography in general. I am somewhat overwhelmed at this point with all there is to learn. But I'm looking forward to learning from other people and getting input from others.

Hi everyone,
I'm Joe from Austria. Last week I bought my first camera and since then I'm experimenting with it. I was looking for a new hobby and I always wanted to do something creative. However, I'm the worst painter in history. Van Gogh would cut off his other ear if I showed him my skills. ;)

So I chose photography and would be pleased to get some suggestions and comments.

Hello everyone!

I am a long time nature lover who got her first camera at the age of five or six. (Remember those long skinny things back in the 80's?) I've never taken any kind of professional courses on this hobby, and I only yesterday bought my first book on 'digital photography' so I am just beginning my actual study of things. After taking two awesome trips over the last two summers, I've decided I'd like to really learn how to capture these special moments as best as I can.

I'm excited to meet all of you and learn alongside other beginners!

Hi everyone,
I'm Traci from Upstate NY. I've always been into taking pictures but I've recently discovered it's become a passion of mine since bringing my kids home. And flickr... I'm a total addict! I can't stop looking at everyone's amazing photos! I'm shooting with a Pentax *ist and recently discovered the post-processing joys of shooting in RAW. I'm looking forward to getting lots of constructive criticism, learning all I can, and expanding my creative horizons! :)

Hello all,

I'm Alpa and from the UK. I've always enjoyed taking photos but ony recently thought of it more as a hobby and something that I'd like to learn more about. I bought a Panasonic TZ-3 last year but am still figuring out how best to use the settings in specific occasions. But I've noticed that I've been paying more attention to composition and style more recently, and am hoping to improve more over the coming months before my fiance and I go to South America for 3 months! I'm looking forward to taking photos that I'd be really proud to share with others. Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

Joey Jiuliani says:

Hi everyone! The name's Joey.
I've been dabbling in photography for a while now, but I just recently became rather serious about it.

My first quality point-and-shoot was a Sony DSC P200. I've had it for about, maybe, 3 years now? I've actually been using it frequently up until recently, before I purchased a Nikon D80 DSLR earlier this week.

Obviously, I was amazed at the differences of quality and general setup between the cameras, but I'm slowly getting the hang of the SLR.

They are the most patient subject. I shoot macro shot with my sony Dsc P200 and with my R1 on others, I am still learning how to use it. Thank you for providing us beginners such a group. GodSpeed!

Not worried about being a pro but want a little hobby and to take some good pictures and, maybe, one day get an Explore!!

Greetings from the San Francisco area!
I'm Nadine, (German expat) new to Flickr and photography, and I'm looking forward to making some new friends here. After the birth of my son recently, my dad gave me his old digital camera (Fujifilm S7000) to take pictures of the little guy, and I got hooked on taking photos of whatever comes in front of my lens. Soon, I'll be working with Photoshop too, hopefully that'll help me improve my shots... that's when I'll probably end up with a pro account as well...

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone! :)

Hi I'm new to the photography thing.But totally addicted now.I'm tring new things every day.Some good some bad LOL! I will take advice from anyone who can help.My cats and family have been my test subjects.Some willing some not to happy.Most of my pictures are of my cats.I'm having serious problems with moving subjects.And also get lost in what setting to take some things in.I started out with a Kodak easyshare.Now I'm with a Canon Powershot with alot more settings and alot more problems.I'm in several groups most to do with cats.And see lots of pictures that are beyond my ability.But I hope I can get to that level one day.I take criticism very well and can't wait to learn.And just a hint my spelling sucks lol!

Hello everyone, I started shooting a couple of years ago. Self taught and still learning. My sister gave me an old minolta to start with. The BUG bit me...now I have a Nikon D70s.

Hi, I started using a camera a few months ago. I'm more or less self-taught and there are a lot of things I still don't know (especially how to focus correctly!). All the beginners here seem to be very good! So maybe you could all give me some advice to help me improve my photos.

I`ve just purchased my first "serious" camera and am enjoying all this wonderful hobby has to offer.

I`ve posted a couple of my pics for review, comments & critism.

I just started using my fuji finepix s8000 fd (a month ago). I'd love comments on the pics I've made. Go ahead, be brutal.
I'm still learning so feedback would help. Thanks.

Hi everyone!
My name is Amber and I am still learning, so be nice. :)
I have had a Flickr account for a while and had uploaded pictures from an older camera I had so they weren't always that good.
In the past 3 months I bought a Nikon DSLR and I LOVE it. I don't know how to use all of it yet, but I try and I think I am getting better.
Hopefully in the next couple weeks I can upgrade my Flickr to PRO too.

Hello everyone!

I joined flickr about a year ago, but I didn't really start using it until recently. For the last few years I've had the standard point&shoot camera, but I got a good deal on a Canon Rebel XT and now I'm trying to learn more about photography in general. I appreciate any tips anyone has, and I love looking at all your photos!

Hi all,

I've just started taking pictures 'for the sake of pictures' rather than recording events a couple of months ago, when I got my dSLR. Having a great time looking at everyone's shots, and looking forward to more.

Hi, I am Jennifer, live in NYC. I bought the Nikon D80 for myself, a little treat for completing the marathon last november. Its a lot of camera and am slowly getting the hang of it. I just recently took it with me to Peru where I hopefully shot some nice photos.

I uploaded some pics from my recent trip.
