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

Love the picture. His backpack kit is worn non-reg, but that adds all the more flavor. My only gripe, small that it is: the green backing to the state eagle on his chest is too verdant. It should be darker, more in tune with his uniform. This one stands out too much. I have known people in the collecting community (not just WWII), and have seen thousands (literally) of original German WWII eagles on and off uniforms. I speak from experience. One can always say it was a dye-lot exception, though. I do really like his litzen with the waffenfarbe on his collar. (The "pillars" and in them, the white stripe of Infantry. Look close. It's early war. Later, they ommitted the branch color in favor of generic litzen.)

Was this the one where he was fastening his boot laces?? Excellent portrait Alan, the people that do dress the part try to be as authentic as possible, I guess they don't know which year the uniform changed. Plus these things are getting harder and harder to find. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
Sylvia
