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

Holy gorilla, Batman! There's supposed to have been 61 of them! That's amazing.

Wonderful! I should think they were more challenging to paint. Lions in Cape Town in February!

That's the most intelligent gorilla I've ever seen Clive, nice capture.

Come on Bristol!???? What idiot thought of these.... Its rubbish.. Sorry Clive, I'm not a 'Modern Art Dude' at the best of times but I could have done better! There is nothing wrong, of course, with your picture.. The best POV you could get shows the awful contrast between what the 'Gorilla' is and what 'Old' Bristol looks like... Statue...hideous! Picture...super! Rob
