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!

Stellar capture, considering you were just experimenting with your camera, Melinda. This is really old stuff. I have never seen such exquisite elegance in a radiator before.

Your capture of this old radiator is really marvelous. The pov and composition with this bit of tilt is perfect. And brings back wonderful memories...

This is a marvelous capture, and yeah, like you, I experiment with things like settings and light contours and such, then get home, read the instruction book, weeks later, discover something new to do (new for me at least) and think: "Wow! If I'd tried this last week that odd guy in front of an even odder building would have looked rockin'...oh well. In terms of this shot though, I love the details and the contrasts. It's also funny for me to see so clean a radiator, they're usually clean in front and really dusty in back! This looks like it's clean in back too! I agree that the composition is top notch and it has a nice (but subtle) tilt. The Science Fiction geek in me is really fascinated at how much this reminds me of something from the Dune universe--a water distillation system or something. I love that element of it too. In short, I really like this piece of work. It's marvelously done.

Nice POV, awesome composition! I'll bet that would look fantastic in black and white. Well done all around.
