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

Hmmm...clotted cream. That makes me think of farmer's cheese, but if it's a cream, can it be a cheese also? I'll have to look that one up. Now, as for this photo...I love the regular windows and the light. This looks quite cinematic and in all of the best ways. The POV is deliciously intimate, as if you actually live there and are simply walking across the garden area to walk into the most familiar of doors. The little umbrellas, furled, add a nice surprise in terms of color. Really nice work.

Why do they not have a garden worth seeing in the autumn? Bad planning ,I call it! Beautiful sky.

Well Clotted Cream.. How can you describe Clotted cream? Its nothing like cream you get in tubs or a pouring cream.. Nothing like a whipped cream.. It tastes nothing like any of them.. 'Real' Clotted Cream' comes from Cornwall, Devon, Counties in the South West of England.. Tradition dictates you have it scones, with Jam. lol The cream you spoon on and it will barely move.. It is THAT thick!! Great shot Clive, shame you got none this time mate! Rob
