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

What's that big circle in the middle? Maybe a reflection on glass? Do you know I would rather go ashore in Namibia than stay on board and have some strange bloke rub his hands all over me!!!! That's just me, I have issues!!!!!!! LOL And this 'Liberian' freighter.....I bet it could tell some stories too. Great post.

Nice shot of an interestingly shaped ship! Like the tall tower! Cool... Tours are quite expensive if you book them from ship, but on the cruises I took mate, you could either find them ashore or even cheaper was know where you want to go, and take a cab! BUT barter a price! It works! lol Rob

Great shot Clive do what you like on a cruise, nobody said you have to go on a tour or anything but I bet your mum enjoyed you staying with her

That's the 'rub' Clive, if you go ashore it's expensive and if you stay on board they will cleverly massage you out of your cash!!

Nice shot, but avoid tours, they are often just traps, particularly in Hawaii. I'll never go on another one now that I know all their tricks. However, accommodation tours to get you to Hawaii and into a hotel are good, but once there, strike out on your own, IMHO. Never go to a free breakfast either, ha ha!

Wonderful capture; the ship has a strangely pirate-like feel to it. Or maybe it's just the colour it's painted? And I'd take a massage any day!

I'd have done likewise. Got a bit of a crink in my neck now:) Interesting ship design...we get to see HUGE ones come and go from Seattle.
