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 shot! My brother called yesterday to say that it was hard to see for the smoke in the air (he lives in Whittier, California). Scary stuff.

An entire spectrum of lovely colors constitute this humble zinnia, Melinda! I've had smokey skies and ashes floating down like snowflakes around here. I really feel bad for the folks that lost their homes and valuables.

Lovely photo .. I love the colors here; probably my fav color, the dusty mauve. Beautiful.

This is gorgeous, as others have stated already. I love the sense of color here, it's definite, but muted and somewhat "ashy" in a really good way...almost like an aged photograph, yet at the same time, there is an intensity as well. It's all beautifully balanced. Great work.
