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

This is really quite lovely. And I can't believe it's in the twenties already. Time flies, but maybe it seems not so fast for you two.

Fantastic back lighting makes the flower come alive in the dreamy cloak. I wish I were a fly to eavesdrop on those conversations, lol!

It took me almost 2 months to get my strength back after a bout of chronic bronchitis so be patient with yourself. :-) This is a very lovely backlit rose. It glows. Makes the petals look magical. BTW, I am such a nut for colors and color combinations that before I post each photo to my galler, I will pop up the top half of it and view it as a whole. I check to see what colors are overdone on the page or what colors need to be added to keep over all visual appeal and interest when someone might pop in to look. Then I go to my "holding" file and choose what looks like it will fit best. :-)

Oh my. IMHO, this is easily the most beautiful, wonderful, stunning shot in your gallery! Of course I'm a bit partial to flowers, roses in particular, backlighting, and non-centered compositions. Red is a tough capture, and you did a fantastic job! So ... I love every single thing about this shot. Beautiful! Congrats on reaching the 20s! :)

Great macro, considering the capricious red color, Carin, and fabulous backlighting! I always resort to Photoshop when I do red roses, a variety of which I try to keep at a minimum in my gallery. Incidentally, just finished my regimen with two different types of antibiotics, taken concurrently. It did help a bit, but really no fun. I have putting that stuff in my system, but really the best alternative.
