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!

Hello

My name is Alain and after I saw the link at Petapixel I came over to post some wish list for bodies and lens

I think it is agood move from Canon to open up a bit more and hope they will consider our inputs. I opened up a Lens wish-list thread by the way, I hope you add your ideas.

I am enjoying a 1D4, after the 1D3, both great cameras. I love them because the AF points are place where I need them to be, and very precise.

I mostly use the 85II, or 200 2. I also use 24II, 24 TS-EII, 16-35II, 100 IS, and 14mm.

I shoot traditionnal Japan, like festivals and geishas etc.

Hello everyone today I found this forum (too bad there is in Italy) and I joined. I speak very little English but I'll try 'to understand.

Hi all,

I am a long time Canon user, since I was a young and my dad handed me his AE-1 which I still have and use. 

Hope this forum really takes off and we can use each other to improve our skills, professional or hobbiest.
