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

Alan, another remarkable shot. Anyone that has ever attempted to shoot through a wire/or mesh wire fence in an enclosed environment knows what you were dealing with. I think you captured the bird beautifully and the blurred background adds to the image in my opinion, Sig..

Sweet! Yup, taking good photos through the wires is sure not easy. And I also save only a fraction of photos I take. :-D

A wonderful catch! I think it is not easy taking a pic like this through a fence. Well done, Alan!

Now this is small mesh, you can see at the top, so you did extremely well to get this, I remember reading that it was a lilac breasted something or other, I didn't take a shot of the details like I normally do. I love the way it tilted it's head to look at you Alan, made for the cute shot. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

Excellent capture my friend.

this little gem looks as if it flew into a box of colored chalk and rolled around a bit before flying back out. How sweet and pastel this is. Very good shot!

not an easy task but you managed to get a decent capture of a beautiful bird.I try to use my 105 macro when shooting through fence since it has a small lens diameter.
