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

Happy Birthday Mate, I know where I went wrong now, that machine of mine stores the date 10/7/08, I didn't see the 7 and thought it was your Birthday on Friday, I even told Pauline to ring Sue and tell her for the club. My brain hurts, never mind, you've only 9 to catch me up. This collage is worth posting, I thought you had a better close up of the bike in the river though. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

Happy birthday Alan. Now for us guys/gals with birthdays in the early 40s, you are still a youngster! Does that help...at least a bit? Thanks for the flood photos...they are both newsy and nicely presented. Bill

Happy birthday! Sometimes a quiet one is the best way to do it. You're still younger than me by a few...best wishes for a good year. This collage is very informative, I can't imagine all that rain over there as every time I've been to England it's been hot and sunny. Hopefully the weather will settle down a bit and get to where it should be!

Go 51! A great mark in one's life. It wasn't that long ago I got to play with that age myself and I packed it with exciting things. Time to make the years count! Pack them full of things you really want to do! Happy Birthday! And, this shot is great. I think maybe there was too much water, huh? :-)
