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!

THIS is an amazing capture and I'm quite impressed. I love the clarity of this and the crispness of it. The play of more subtle colors is fantastic.

What an adorable face. :-) Good pov and clarity. At this angle the wings are very nicely presented along with the face. Excellent macro!

Actually, the dragonfly looks rather down in the mouth, perhaps a bit perturbed by all this photographic attention. It just wants to do its thing and be left alone. Anyway, a terrific POV, with vivid colors, sharp clarity and lighting in this wonderful macro!

beautiful dragonfly macro.I have only done a decent capture once on this breed.after a chilly night they are more likely to stay put, but after they warm up, they are like greased lightning
