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

The foreground of your magnificent photo gives the whole vista an impression of peacefulness in a place where not so many things should happen, as if the industrial revolution had decided to move elsewhere.... A great and tell-tale photo!

superb image, i like seeing the preservation of old mills such as this and given a second life. excellent work !!

at first I thought it was a canal,then I understood the viewpoint. It is refreshing to see industrial landscape portrayed this way. I certainly got fed up with the over used monochrome urban decay images so beloved of camera club contest entries.

While I guess urban regeneration has it's place.. I do worry about the loss of habitat for some of the amazing wildlife one can find in such places.. Great image my friend.

You did very well to use the pond for refletions... It gives something special to this shot ! The building in the background is really beautiful !

A nicely composed shot Alan, I wouldn't mind having the apartment where the tower is, with access to the roof, that great big flat expanse I could get up to all sorts of mischief. Lol. Excellent capture with great reflections. Bravo!!!!!

What a great shame for this lovely building, why do we feel the compulsion to turn everything into posh flats for spoiled little rich kids?...It'd be far better off as a museum, as a testerment to the men and women that had a hard life in the Mill....Great scape of this beautiful old building
