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

My dad always had an owl statue on his boat to keep the others out. What a gorgeous shot this is!

A great idea! Popular at airports as well.. Works very well.. This is very well caught.. I saw 4 buzzards over Stamford today! Flying together.. A record.. Rob

As Andrea says 'its a good idea'. We have them in Chard and we are 12 miles from the sea, they have become land gulls and are a pest. They try to nest on our roofs.

How fun! I've only seen a few of these "birds," mostly near the ferry docks. They look like eagles, which makes sense, since eagles are native to this area. (There's one here if you're interested in seeing it.) I love this one soaring above the river. The bridge detail in the background is marvellous!

Superb capture Clive. God Bless.

Hehe - clever! I believe that the British employed a similar tact to get the pigeons off Trafalgar Square! Great catch Clive!

I like it and if it cuts back on the tagging - then everybody wins!
