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

I figure if a place was built in the 1200s, it should be a pub; there's something intrinsically right about being able to have a drink or food in such a place with friends. I always imagine the sorts of conversations such a place would inspire, and I love that they were essentially built by hand...I mean, back in the 1200s, Earth-moving and wall building technology involved a strong back and two well-calloused hands! The mood here is wonderful. I love the lighting and the dominance of warm color. I love pubs like these and its even better if they're way down in a cellar with natural climate control (body heat in winter and stone-created coolness in summer! The funny thing about that is that the temperature never really changes; it stays constant, but OUTSIDE is what gets hot and cold.) This is brilliant!

Amazing capture Clive. Interesting information that Chip shared. God Bless.

That just boggles my mind. I always wonder if the stonemason expected his work to stand for more than 800 years. Wow! Outstanding image.

I would love to hear what the walls would say about what went on throughout the centuries I'd raise a pint and do a shout, no worries

Yep! This is an old abode! But, not the oldest in Stamford! lol By FAR the oldest Pub, it is a very popular award winning pub with great beer that changes without warning as soon as the barrel runs out.. Then the next WEIRDLY names one is on...and they have several at one! And I'm sure Larger is not served if memory serves me... lol Great shot Clive! Rob

Not only a must-see-place I think - a must-taste-and-stay-for-a-while-place too :) I wonder why the tables are this small, I always thought pubs only need some big round tables.
