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

A very beautiful nasturtium for your daughter's 13th birthday... I always say its not the number that is unlucky it is the people saying that the number itself is.... If that were true all numbers could/would be considered unlucky... Sorta like the black cat...people say the black cat is unlucky...the poor old cat doesn't know that....nor does he know he is even black...just that most people look at him and shoo him away without even thinking of the poor old cats feelings... I love the flower........and Happy Birthday to your daughter who turns the beautiful age of 13.... I grow these flowers they are lovely........and you can eat them too......they are quite spicy in a salad....... So Happy Birthday lil lady....wish I knew your name....but you get the drift LOL Hope you had a wonderful day and I am sure you did Hugs Susan I shared this on Facebook.........I hope you don't mind...the flower was just so pretty and a special occasion for you and your daughter......

All my best wisher for her.
