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

Superb capture Clive. God Bless.

Judging by the size of the door, I'd say this place is older than the USA. I could be wrong, but smaller doors indicate smaller people, which tells me: this place is OLD. Humans were almost dwarfishly short, once upon a time. We were short enough that one may assume that the biblical Goliath was about the height of an average US-American basketball player now. Funny how that works. And as for this shot: I love the color of the door and all of the nice details that one can find when one's eye wanders around this photo.

The door must be small, and home made by the look of it. Nothing seems level with it, but having said that it is an excellent and fun shot, thanks, hugs Jane xx

this is just a cool shot and a great comparison

People used to be a lot shorter! Great capture!

It's all relative, isn't it? He could be an incredibly detailed, lifelike sculpture a hundred feet tall or an inch tall...

Knowing about how tall Rob is, I'm quite confident I could walk through that door without ducking. :) Terrific shot!

Great pic Clive. People generally weren't so tall a 100 years ago!

A great way to demonstrate this!

I was in Captain Cook's cottage recently and the height of the doors was about the same!

I found the work around the door somewhat more interesting. Looks like a fire inside there once, but not a large one. Wonder how many times that door has been replaced, and did the bottom part once open separately back when people were REALLY small, LOL?

Very funny picture.

Sometimes you must bend yourself very deep to be the number one :) Nice idea.
