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 wonderful to be able to view a Hummingbird at close quarters, that I know will never happen to me, but thank you for sharing this little capture with us. An awesome action shot - hugs Jane xx

Excellent, momentous, silhouetted capture of the teeny birdie, with wings outstretched, flitting either in or out. Why do hummingbirds hum? Ooops, I forgot, I already asked that one yesterday.

For what looks to be a dreary cloudy sky, you did a fantabulous job of getting such good shape to those wings!! Bravo for you!!!

I would be doing cartwheels, hand stands and loop the loop if I got a shot like this, it's highly unlikely though as they don't like the north of England that much, and on top of that, I couldn't do all that to save my life. Excellent capture of this beautiful little bird. Bravo!!!!!5+++++

I capture them all the time but not going to an actual flower, just to my feeders. Great capture here.
