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!

Beautiful picture. I watch these things fly in and out around my mom's feeders and now that you mention it I don't think I have seen their wings either. Nice shot! Todd

Fabulous capture! Wow. This is just stunning!

Although it could still use some brightening, this is one fabulous freeze frame shot of the tiny bird going about its daily chores. Really a rare and terrific overall composition with those hyper wings beating away at a million times a second.

Another beautiful capture, even better than the one before. You did a great job on this, thanks for sharing them!

This is a wonderful shot, I only wish more light on the head of the bird. Well done.

This (and the previous hummingbird image) totally blow me away. The way you've captured it so perfectly is astounding and the detail of the wings is great! Wonderful work!

Although I've seen the wings before, its the legs and feet of these creatures that I find the most interesting. So delicate and tiny you expect them to snap off when they land on them. Excellent shot.

these little hummers are sooo neat. But they sound like huge bee's when they catch you offguard while working in the garden. nice shot! :)
