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!

Outstanding clarity, colors and textures in another shot of the handsome lighthouse, atop what looks like Blueberry Hill. You survived surgery, a huge welcome back, and you're just about ready to get back on the Renderosity saddle full time, Melinda! But don't rush it.

That is one of the most spectacular cliff faces I've seen. Juts right out and its so straight and powerful. Topped by a marvelous lighthouse too! Fabulous shot.

Living in Duluth, Minnesota for the past 34 years it is nice to see others enjoying what we here in Duluth unfortunately frequently take for granted--our beautiful North Shore. You have some very nice shots of the Split Rock Lighthouse and I am glad you got to see Glensheen.

This is a great marker in numerous ways! First it's a great way to mark the success of a now-past surgery! It's also a great lighthouse marker--something a bit more literal, and I love the color of the lighthouse itself. It's kind of the normal color of a Czech building, which would naturally appeal to me. I like the POV as well, and the whole sense of color is spot-on perfect!
