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!

I had the same dragonfly tales here. But I only had 2 land and the shots I took were not very spectacular. This is great though. Nice detail and a wonderful macro.

Unfortunately, I have none of the insects and creatures around where I live that you post each day. All we have are protein-eating ants and termites, and that's about it. Ergo, no macros from this end, and even if I did have these guys, I seriously doubt I could ever match your talents vis-a-vis your incredible captures.

This is not only beautiful, but it's elegant! I love this image and it's definitely one of my favorites. I happen to love insects anyway and this is an exquisite capture of an exquisite specimen. Great work here!

Greetings Melinda, I love dragonflies and I have thought about photographing them, only to give up because i could never get close enough, so I can honestly say that I am very impressed by this super photograph. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for sharing. egmont
