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

You could have produced it under a blue filter and said you had the "dishwashing blues"! Much of the year, especially for America is right there: down the drain! Wishing you, and all of us, a better next year!

Well done, Clive!

The blue filter is just right, and the little blob of bubbles gives it an immediacy a plain capture would not have had. Nicely done!

It is a very creative person who turns a kitchen drain into a beautiful piece of art as well as a social commentary. Lol. I really love this picture. Great work. I can't wait to see what the next year will bring.

I'm wondering where this year went too! And what lies ahead. As for this shot, its elegant and beautifully captured. Funny how the simlest things become so utterly compelling, like this. Your post work is right on the money as well and that adds so much to this image. This is wonderful work.
