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

Looks like that windmill literally went south! Just goes to show you global warming is true!

They don't seem to mind their unorthodox condominium...what a strangely lovely shot!

I see four nests, these cormorants have certainly made good use of it!

What a marvel. I suppose you could say that it worked perfectly if the intention was to...um...create a lake? The nests are a nice touch. Birds are such marvels, as is this shot. I love the details and the overall mood. But perhaps this isn't a defunct windmill. Maybe the birds themselves built it in an attempt to disguise their nests to keep those pesky humans from noticing them. OK...maybe not. But still. Also, is there a third nest in this shot. Did someone decide to set up housekeeping amid the actual blades of this windmill? Or are my eyes beginning to show their age, not that they're that old, mind you, but they're not so young either! At any rate...WOW! I like this immensely.
