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)Â
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

Wow! Look at all those rocks, I'm on the next plane out of here. Lol. Excellent capture Alan, I won't say it's a great place because its as barren as they come, but it is a great photograph of your son for one thing, and thre rim of the Volcano for another. Fond memories. Hope you are feeling better soon, I know what you mean and it does make sense to me mate. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

The crater is really pronounced and the rusty color in the rocks is really interesting. I understand all too well what has you feeling off. I find daytime naps seem to help. And not eating after 7 p.m. :-)

Take care of your head first, my friend! No worries here, and no pressure. Enjoy Renderosity in your own time, and don't feel like you have to "catch up," either!! That looks like an amazing place. Such a barren landscape! However, your son looks like he was enjoying himself. Very cool, to see something so different!

Excellent capture Alan. It shows the same barrenness as Mt. Etna and it also shows a crater in the background. Doesn't it give you a weird feeling walking around on top of a volcano? One never knows what could happen. Nice scan, Sig...
