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!

How did you get that close???? Amazing!!! Hummingbirds seem to float in the air wingless!!!

Excellent picture. Auto focus can be a pain, but this is a very nice action shot. You can see just the impression of the wings in motion, really cool! There is a way to manual focus , in that everything in a certain range is in focus. Read the tutorials by "danob". He has excellent birds of prey, in flight. I try to take bird in flight pictures all the time, they all stink!... :) Todd

This is an intriguing capture, I love the angle of your POV and the beautiful blur of the bird's wings. The whole composition works well! The whole image is beautiful! Fantastic work!

I have never had the opportunity to even miss a shot since I never see them. thebest in flight capture that I ever remember being posted here

Lush greens displayed in this momentous capture of the ever flitting hummingbird, performing its daily chores of collecting nectar. Incidentally, why do hummingbirds hum? Because they can't carry a tune. And we hardly got any rain down here from this highly touted strong storm.
