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

Douglas built their planes to last and last and last. More than 50 years in flying service. Wow. Cool photo. Glad you captured it for us.

What an incredible history and well built machine. I'm with koosievantutte, I feel sad to see it end like this. Would have been better to scavange it for parts. Great shot. Thanks for showing it.

Good to see this still has a purpose, though a shame it can't be kept in better "nick" a little preservation could keep this around for many more years.Great capture, thanks for sharing.

A great find Clive!... Wonderful history (shame she isn't looked after better) But it occurs to me on the food runs, as it brings in aid to starving people, what they must have thought when they saw those teeth baring down on them!!! lol What a great history.. Super shot.. Brilliant pub! Mines a pint! Rob.
