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

Nice capture; Unfortunately, I can relate: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2150199&user_id=59714&member&np This happened at my brothers place on Christmas Eve when they were out of town. Didn't involve aerial tankers, but they had six local departments shuttling water in to contain the fire to the equipment barn. Lost a grain combine, two tractors, a skid steer, a semi grain truck, my brother's pickup, welders (gas and electric), and all the tools in his workshop. Fortunately no one was hurt, even with all the fuel, welding tanks, tires, etc. cooking off. They also protected the house and no livestock were lost. Could also have been worse if it was into crop season or even harvest season.
