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

A natural gash in the hillside...very handsome. The snow reminds me of powdered sugar lightly sprinkled on top of a bunt cake. Hmmmm, good. Bill

A lovely place to work and take photo's, I would so have to jump that brook! I just couldn't resist it but no doubt I would be wet!

Beautiful compostion. The s-curve of the brook is perfect. Like the blue white colors of winter.

Lovely golden streaks caused by the sunlight on those trees. That brings out the nice reflections in the water. Wonderful shot.
