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

Superb capture of something so delicate, as this 'golden-looking' dragonfly, with almost transparent wings, love it ! not to forget the ever so slight motion blur of the wings. Cheers BB

A big step, Alan. But if you never take it, you can never move forward and that's what we all need to do...learn to move forward. Nothing stays the same so learning to change and try new things is the only way to keep life alive. The lens story is heartbreaking... I've done the same thing with my cell phone before...didn't cost as much to replace but it was a shock nonetheless. Great shot on this dragonfly. A unique angle and good definition.
