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!

Sterling capture of the colors, tortuous crevasses and fissures in this fine shot, Melinda! Well, at least you weren't wearing those silly flip-flops that some of the other Renderosity members wear during their foto shoots in hazardous territory.

Excellent shot, it does pay to get out of the city sometimes!

It took me a while to get around to seeing this, and I'm glad it did. Being a big science fiction nerd, I can see all sorts of "alien planet possibilities" in this. The rock structure is astounding and magnificent, and the colors are perfect. Stuff in the Las Vegas area is actually quite interesting, and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten as much attention as Sin City itself. Oh well...at any rate, this is a top notch piece of photographic work, and most definitely a favorite.

Great shot! These type formations with this coloration are all over the Superstition Mountain area in AZ. I ride motorcycles throughout the region and am always astounded by God's handiwork and His infinite palette of colors and shapes. Thanks for sharing.
