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

Wonderful pic..get the balance right though, Clive! You should only work to feather the nest and feed the chicks, not for the corporation.

Positively iridescent! A very satisfying macro image. They also helped you buy a very fine camera:) Know your feeling well. I've enjoyed three working lives...military, sales and finally teacher/trainer/mentor. I saw work swallowing me up on at least three occasions...stopped, reevaluated, reoriented priorities and stepped off smartly once again but with a lighter step each time.

these is hard to get as they fly all the time and rest rare

We got them here too - they look like small blue tie-pins in the sun. Very nice shot.
