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

Lovely Alan. I spent a month in Manchester at the Britannia Hotel a few years ago on business. Being on my own could have been horrible, but the people of Manchester are so friendly, I went down to the bar own my own made friends and went clubbing. All paid for on my expense account. ;~)

You did get out and about Monday then Alan, I was still too tired to do anything mate, not too bad now though, I've been up since before 05:00. Nice capture, I don't think I have been near this place since 2002 Commonwealth Games, when I did a special event from Manchester Town Hall. That looks a long tram there, or is it two passing? Are you are trying to fool everybody, a blue sky? In Manchester? roflmao. Looks like you had a good day for it mate. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

For those who are interested. The Tram system in Manchester has proved a huge success over the years and they are hoping to expand reaching even further out into the surrounding areas of greater Manchester including Oldham and Rochdale. One reason being to cut the amount of cars coming into the city centre. Local authorities have been given the go ahead to put a toll on vehicles entering the City, against much opposition I must add! The Tram shown is two joined together here and we are beginning to see this more often to cater for passenger demand.
