Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

A great shot Alan, I can see the shadow of the balloon on the trees, what looks like a couple of deer? grazing and is that a crocodile I can see mid stream? Not the log, a bit further left and a touch lower. Excellent scanned image, even if it is a tad grainy, the memories are still there. Bravo!!!!!

Great shot, sounds a little too crowded for me, but I'm glad you got the pic for us!!

Pretty cool shot! I like the way it seems dense with plants on one side and not on the other.

True that it is grainy, but no matter, this gives a painterly effect. You can correct little patches easyly with Photogshop's Clone Stamp Tool. Excellent!
