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

As if I do not have enough of them giving me a WA-WA-Wake-up call at 5am every morning. I have a whole family nesting in a tree in the neighbour's property with the "home" branch hang over in my property. I need to spray down the "calling cards' every day! Yikes!!! Great image of this dude Clive... they are strange looking birds! :)

We are going to pitch in and get you a fanny cushion for Xmas. Lol. What a lovely visitor to your garden. He certainly looks like he owns the place and is quite proud of it too, he keeps it in good order. Great shot.
