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

Great capture you got leg blurr (very hard to do at times)

LOL @ Mike! Nice window capture; I'd have known it was a Guess ad just from the girl, not even seeing the logo.

Public transportation shots are always such fun. I don't ride the bus as much as I probably could, but then Chicago's "El" is just as nice, until it becomes the subway and you don't see anything! I love the nice juxtapositions here and the nicely elegant urban feel. There aren't crowds of people in this shot but I can get the sense of loads and loads of people. Really nice...one of the better drive shots I could think of.

Great capture : I like the difference of size between Marylin Monroe and the girl in the street... It gives the sense of scale and perspective.
