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!

Superb capture. very successful. Although it is a bug shot I first thought it resembled a humming bird but not a criticism, thats just me I see something different in everything lol. Nice presentation work.

A very unusual pov but also a very good one, I have never seen a Dragonfly pictured from this angle. Great clarity and detail especially in the zoomed image. The blue of the sky really makes the little critter stand out. Excellent macro photography. Bravo!!!!!

Excellent macro! Since you live in California(?) I'd say it has to be a male Flame Skimmer [Libellula saturata] - alternatively a Neon Skimmer [Libellula croceipennis], although the amount of coloration in the wings points to the first alternative:)

another super shot!

The sharp image and fuzzy frame complement each other well in this splendid shot of the dragonfly hanging on for dear life. Great colors, clarity and textures.
