My name is Clive, resident in Cape Town, South Africa. I am an amateur photographer who has been enjoying the medium in a more serious manner since 2003.
I took a trip to the UK armed with a Minolta Maxxum 7000 that I had inherited from my Dad.
Out of the holiday snaps, I managed to get a few that I felt were quite good, but had no idea of how I managed to get them 'right'.
Since then I have done a couple of courses in the darkroom and joined a local photographic society where I was on the committee for a while.
Hopefully I am getting it 'right' more often these days.
I have a Minolta Maxxum 7 and being tied into the lens system, the Sony A100 DSLR was my introduction to the digital world. This has recently been upgraded to the Alpha SLT-A55 and I have to admit that I have shot more digital in the last five years than film!
My daughter Kristen (Kris10) and son Sean (fotoSean) have accounts here too, in the hope that they will learn too and share my passion! Sadly they have been rather quiet of late, much like their dad...
August 2015 marks the end of my 3 years as coordinator for the Photographic section of Renderosity. What a wonderful time of my life that I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you all for the opportunity!
Keep the smile alive,
Clive

Naming mine was easy as I got a leaflet from the farm I visited, naming this is another story entirely. I have no idea. It is however a very nice specimen, are they food for Iggy one wonders? The farm I visited had an Iguana roaming free in the main area, it was about three foot long and I spotted it on top of an archway just laying there. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!

A beautiful shot, mate! I know the story of 'getting the buggers to stay still'. Having inflicted myself to the trauma of 'THE BUTTERFLY WALK, at London Zoo. And THEN tried to get a shot! Steam coming out of ears! But, you did the job here! And how many shots did this take then? Rob.
