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

Weird! Never noticed that before.. Maybe they were re-glazing it ready for the 'Rip Off' Olympic Games etc.. Otherwise I'm not sure what it's for.. Well noticed Clive.. Rob

Very cool! I know I've seen that spot filled with seasonal displays, like Christmas lights etc., it would be interesting to find out the reason for it from the company that runs it.

How very interesting! What does Rob mean..rip off Olympics?...They may be expensive, but Boy have they caught the imagination of the country in the main!

You know I went and looked it up! LOL! Apparently they're replacing/repairing/refurbishing one pod at a time in preparation for the increased traffic during the Olympics. That way there's no break in service. :) I love all the lines and angles. A most satisfying shot!

That is strange that they would do that unless they are showing the world how it was built. Super shot either way!
