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)Â
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

Excellent close-up full of details ! Light is a bit strange, Is it indoor ?

Piliph * I have to give away a secret here. The shot has been turned 180 degrees, the swan was preening its underneath feathers with its head completely upside down but it was taken in the open air outside!

You know I'm stood on my head now trying to see the original pov of this great shot, if you hadn't told us I wouldn't have known. I did guess however that the light was natural, knowing Hollingworth Lake as I do. Excellent capture, the focus on the eye is spot on, the softer edges add to the overall image. Superb work. Bravo!!!!! Can you imagine me stood on my head. Roflmao.
