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!

A wonderful discovery well after the ascent / descente...un beautiful lighthouse on a rocky promontory! Very nice prize!

This is a spectacular shot and the lighthouse draws the eye right to the center.

LOL, Melinda, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I am very new to photography and I asked my hubby for our 22nd anniversary if he would buy me a simple to use camera that I could carry with me every day in case a photo opportunity came along. I'm still learning about framing things, light and shadows... Last weekend we went to the beach and the sun was so bright that I couldn't see the view screen on the camera, so I just pointed and prayed, LOL...and like you, I got home and was like wow! that came out pretty darn good. This is wonderful! I love how you framed the lighthouse through the many types of trees. Nice job!!!

Excellent image, Melinda! You have a great eye. I love the feeling I get of standing right there. This has a wonderful sense of immediacy. Nicely done!

Gorgeous view! I am hoping and guessing your are through the surgery by now, and on that slow road to recovery.... I am hoping all went well.
