Introduce yourself!

[MichaelTheMaven]

I thought this would be a good thread for everyone to come in and tell a little about yourself, especially as the forum is just getting started.

My name is Michael Andrew, but I go by Michael The Maven. I have been a Canon shooter for almost 10 years now and I LOVE Canon gear. 

I started off primarily as a portrait and wedding photorgapher, after a few years of working as a videographer in the wedding industry in Alabama. For the past 5 years, I have run a free online photography school for beginning Canon shooters and have have produced several Canon training videos, many clips of which can be seen on Youtube. I am intimiately familiar with the following Canon gear:

Canon Rebel XSi

Canon Rebel T1i

Canon Rebel T2i

Canon Rebel T3i

Canon Rebel T4i

Canon 40D

Canon 50D

Canon 60D

Canon 5D

Canon 7D

Canon 5Dii

Canon 5Diii

Canon Speedlite 430, 580 Ex, Exii

Canon Speedlite 600

I look forward to meeting everyone and sharing my knowledge with you if I can help!

My name is Amy and I am from ohio. I shoot primarily Canon but I also own Olympus and Pentax gear. My first digital camera was a Olympus e420 (now own a 620) and used a Canon power shot for back up. My first Canon dslr was a T3.

Hello, I'm Jennifer and I just bought my first Canon which is also my first DSLR a few weeks ago. I'm used to compact/point & shoot cameras, so this is a big jump for me, but I'm really loving it. I'm a hobbyist and I've always enjoyed photography, even though I'm not sure if I'm any good at it. My first camera was a cute and girly Barbie camera that used film from the late 90's I got for my birthday one year when I was really little. I used more film than my parents.

Hi there! I'm new to Canon with a EOS 500D from my brother. I've shot lots of phone videos in past 3 years but it's the first time I got a real camera. Wish to lean more photograph skills here 🙂

Hey everyone!

My name is Dave Harding. I've been a Canon shooter for 6 years. I started off buying a T2i to shoot a music video and still have it to this day! 

Since 2012 I've been shooting with the 5DMK3...thing is a beast! I recently added magic lantern to my T2i and use it as a B camera to go along with the 5D. 

I mostly shoot videos (corporate, music, etc.) and started doing some street photography in NYC with the 5D.

I am looking forward to learning many tips and tricks to enhance my skills with the 5D.

I post my best work here: www.daveismedia.com

happy to be here!

Dave
