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

This is a really nice capture Alan. I like it in b&w. My buddy always drags me to these WWII reenctments or get-togethers. A couple of years ago we were in Reading, PA and we saw Col. Tibbits, the pilot of the 'Enola Gay' that dropped the first A-bomb on Hiroshima. Also some guys that flew the 'Hump', the first officer across the bridge at Remagen, the youngest Marine ever to receive the Medal of Honor, and a Coast Guard guy that had been in the Normandy Landings and later in Okinawa. We also saw WWII aircraft, including the only flyable AVRO 'Hasting'.It is maintained by a Canadian group and had come down for the occasion. I remember having seen Hastings during the Berlin Airlift. Thanks for sharing Alan, Sig..

Great shot Alan, if you find out when it's on let me know will you. They also do one of these weekends at Crich, the Tramway Museum, if you want to go again. Or they do one at Eden Camp the old PW camp near Malton North Yorkshire, thats not a bad day out. I'll make some enquiries. Point and shoot eh? Snap shots he says. It looks great in sepia tone Alan. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!! http://www.edencamp.co.uk/ check this out, cut and paste.

Congratulations for this excellent photo.

Wonderful work! I agree with PJ - the snapshot quality this has really makes the image. Anything more professional looking would seem staged. This is so natural - it looks like it could have come from someone's treasured collection of war memorabilia. Excellent stuff, my friend!
