Hi my name is John Hackney and I am an enthusiastic hobbyist.
I started out a few years ago taking photos of my aquariums for posting on forums. I started out with a Kodak z730. A couple of years ago I switched to a SX20IS. This may I upgraded to a T3i and the bug bit hard. I have since upgraded to a 7D in late August.

Hi, my name is Susan Koppel. I live in Reno, Nevada - I am a "retired" aerospace engineer, now working as an animal keeper at a wildlife sanctuary. Also trying to get my photography to generate some revenue, but not trying hard enough to lose it as a passion or a hobby. I've had Canon gear since the Elan-7 film camera, now own a 5DMK3 and 5DMk2 and an assortment of lenses. Happy to be here!

Hi folks
I thought I should introduce myself here, as there doesn't seem to be a specific place. Anyways, I'm John and have been a Canon user for a couple of years now. I use a 7d and a 5d MKII. I'm a Scotsman presently living in Southern Spain, and really should get out and take more pictures.
John

Greetings!
My name is Rex, and I use a pair of 7D cameras to shoot crime scene/forensic images at work. I wear a badge, and my office is a white Ford Crown Victoria. I upload my images into a proprietary program, as straight-from-the-camera JPEGs, so the challenge is to record good images, as I cannot process them. Most of my images are shot at night, so flash is very important. I use a 580EX II, 580EX, 320EX, and a Nissin Di866 II, sometimes with an ST-E2. My most usful lenses are a 100mm Macro 2.8L and a 10-22mm EF-S. I own all of my equipment.
I shoot occasionally on my own time, using the 7D cameras, or my 5D "Classic" or 40D, with various lenses up to a 400mm 5.6L. The 5D with the 40mm "Pancake" is a particular favorite.
EDIT/Update, August 2018:
I am now retired. At the time I retired, in January 2018, my duty cameras had been updated to a pair of the 7D Mark II. I was still using the same EF 100/2.8L Macro IS, and had added a second one. I had shifted to using an EF 24-105L IS for my on-duty zoom. I had accumulated four 600EX-RT Speedlites, and a Macro Ring Lite. Of course, I own this gear, so it is for personal shooting, too.
I have also added, over time, 1D Mark II N, 5Ds R, 1Ds Mark III, and 5D Mark IV cameras, in that order. Some recently-added favored lenses include my EF 100-400L II IS, EF 35/1/4L II, and an EF 300/2.8L IS, the last of which I acquired pre-owned. Walking-about while shooting in natural areas has been my usual recent photographic activity, frequently using the EF 100-400L II IS, with its wonderful ability to capture an image of a bird at the top of the tree, and a wee beastie suddenly appearing underfoot, within seconds of each other. This is a wonderful time to be a photographer.

Hi everyone! I'm Seth, a new member here. I really love canon cameras.Most of my friends has it. It's really nice. I'm planning of buying one. Any suggestions if what's the best?

Hello everyone, my name is Ray....I don't quite have a Canon camera yet. I had the pleasure of tinkering with my moms Canon but, as of now, I own a 35mm Nikon (I won it on an eBay auction). So, shortly I'll be purchasing a T3i with some accessories. The major things I'm looking into getting is the 430ex II flash and the BG-E8 battery grip. If anyone has any other "must have" suggestions, let me know. I may not get them right away but, at least I know what to work on. BTW, I mostly take pictures in gathering type of events i.e.. Weddings, Quincenera's, parties and most importantly, my kids.

Hi folks. New owner of a T3i and first DSLR. Used to play around quite a bit with 35mm but been away for awhile. I still have various bags of bodies and lenses, even have some unexposed rolls of Kodachrome! Anybody want to buy Pentax or Nikon stuff?
im looking into a local camera club and looking forward to rediscovering photography in the digital format. I just shoot for my own enjoyment. I like interesting architecture and old farm structures, people and portraits, etc. nothing professional.
