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

OH How beautiful it is with so lovely colors. Yeah lets hope that Jeff is alright and just feels like having a little braek after the trip. But I can understand why you worry.

Lol @ GBCalls comment, the bird wasn't the only one a tad wet, everybody was a lot wet, It started raining whilst we were paying to get in and it didn't stop until well after we left. It wasn't a total washout though, we managed to get a few shots. Excellent capture of this one Alan, I felt sory for these as they were outside and didn't have anywhere to shelter, I was cold and wet so what did this little chap feel like? Superb work mate. Bravo!!!!! I'm OK but my internet has been down for a couple of days.

I'm glad you mentioned Jeff since I have been worried as well with no word lately from him. Perhaps he will call you soon and you can let us know what's up. This is a lovely bird capture! Vivid in color and style.
