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

These pumpkin flowers look very similar to corgette flowers! Is it possible that the leaf was wet and that is what is causing your colour difference?

Wonderful softness to this tender bloom. Excellent image Clive. Sorry to hear about your PP. That is Home Affairs for you. Just tell them you have booked and they must do an emergency passport for you. They can do it in a week if they move their butts.

A quote from one of my favourite musicals! A lovely pic.

Probably part of the leaf is drier or more moist than the rest of it. Whatever the cause ... this is a fabulous photograph! I love the light and the dof, and your composition is wonderful. Gorgeous work! Luister na Carin ... sy weet!
