A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

breath taking vista/capture. have you noticed that many views seem to disappear when you stop and get out to take it on foot?or by the time you find a safe place something blocks the view

Wonderful shot! I've been known to do this myself from time to time. They don't usually turn out quite so well as yours!

Now that IS AWESOME! Oh to live somewhere like that, or somewhere close. A truly brilliant capture,and to say you are mobile whilst taking it, fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to comment on my rose. Drive safely. ++

a remarkable shot, very good quality considering you were on the move. (personally i would have cropped out the car, the road and the telegraph pole to concentrate the eye on the palm tree against the mountain)

Beautiful scenic capture of the trees against the snow covered mountain. What section and/or road in Southern California was this taken from? Since there hasn't been any significant rain/snow around here for eons the snow pack is probably long gone by now.

Reminds me of Milliken and Jurupa, Ontario, CA.

Not an easy thing to do necessarily (I've tried it myself). The mountains there are breathtaking. Makes me miss parts of Cali.

Really beautiful is this near Palm Springs?

Now THERE is a great view! This is an incredible image that doesn't give that "windshield" impression at all! I love the sense of depth here, and the Speed Limit sign in English...It's been a while since I saw one of those and well...who'd have ever thought that I'd miss them! Anyway...I love this image; it's a fantastic piece of work.

that looks like Mt. San Antonio "Mt. Baldy" with some new snow. what a shot on it.

A fantastic capture of snow covered mountains and a palm tree - especially with this bold shot through the windshield.
