I've always been interested in cameras and photography since a very early age. I've never done a photographic nor photoshop course and everything I've done and know so far is through trial and error, patience and perserverence..:-))
Got my first SLR Minolta 500 Dynax with 28-200mm Sigma zoom 9 years ago and went through hundreds of rolls of film and enjoyed doing what I love. Canon 350D was my entry into the digital world and its been fun doing pics now the digital way :-))
My love, Chantal, is also here on flickr and her pics (only a few so far) can be viewed on her page www.flickr.com/photos/cvanreenen/
She is learning, just like me :-)) so please leave constructive comments for her on how to improve (somehow my advice dont stick with her!!!), will probably be better if she get it from someone else :-)) Doesnt matter, I still love her..:-))
All my images are available for resale, please contact me if you are interested.
