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 capture! I spent 3 days in Bath a few years back, but somehow managed NOT to see the baths themselves :( Oh well, another trip, I guess!

Wonderful shot Clive, several years back they cleaned the pool out and found many coins and artifacts in the sludge.

Quite interesting architecture again !

I saw a program about this place, and it seems to me that I recall the water level used to be higher. Those marks on the columns that look like high water marks ARE high water marks! Unfortunately, that's all my feeble brain retained. I'm sure the whole truth is much more fascinating.

This is the level that I have always seen when I've been. They give it a quarterly cleanup up with high pressure sprays so that could account for the high water marks. They have found everything from the coins Jayfar mentioned to traffic cones and mopeds! The green in the water is natural algae caused by direct sunlight.
