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!

WOW...for a first dragonfly shot, I have to say that this is an exquisite one. BEAUTIFULLY captured and presented! You've got a great eye. I love the presentation of this image and the image itself.

Congrats on the capture and a very good one it is. The details, even at full size, are very nice. The postwork enhances the presentation also. Thanks for sharing. Lee

What can I say other than exquisite!!! Super POV, colors, and extreme clarity, especially of the delicate framework of the wings. Looks like a painting. Utterly utterly!

The color palette adds an almost a hand-drawn look. Great POV and DOF for this macro.

This is truly wonderful. Much softness in the colors. Very graceful image. The transparency of the wings is a great success.

Love your dragonflies. BTW did you ever see the movie by that name?
