I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

I know several people on numerous photos have used the word luck or lucky. I wince when I hear it because I see and know the preparation that you go to, your visualization of what the photo's outcome will be, and your patience! Even when a scene is developing instantaniously your instints take over. Is that luck..no. Lucky to live in a country where there are national reserves, ok I will buy that, however you being in any country in the world would have you producing fantastic photos from the local area!!! Love the photo...love the photographer!!
