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

Amazing! I had no idea what Madeira is like! (I suppose that goes for most other places too, as I've not travelled much!) A superb detailed shot!

I agree ... this is an awesome capture. The sheer scale of the place ... the details and depth of field, as well as the fascinating "going-ons" in the scene, are breath-taking! Really excellent!!!!!

Fascinating terraced scenery. At first it looked like a Terragen creation. Good luck and safe travel Alan. May all the good pics just wait for your arrival.

I always have a notebook and pen in my bag Alan, I never use it mind but it is in there.Lol. I wouldn't want to attempt climbing up those terraces mate, I'd only fall down them if I got to the top. Superb capture, love the mist rolling over the top of the far hill. Stunning landscape! Bravo!!!!!
