I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Although I'm a Nikon man (but the differences between the two brands are so small...), I think you have taken a good decision : once in a while dreams have to come true ! And the collage of your first captures is really promising ! I'm looking forward Carin to your further uploads... up to a new level in photography ! Hugs from BeNeLux !

Your new toy looks great! I'm sure you'll get to grips with most of the functions soon, although I bought my DSLR 8 months ago now and I'm still finding out all the strange and wonderful things that it can do! lol! Excellent collage Carin!!

Did you get a zoom lens as well Carin? or didn't the bank balance stretch that far? If this is for starters I can't wait for when you get to know it a little. Superb collage, and congrats on your new purchase. Bravo!!!!!
