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!

Yes, we have no bananas.... Sorry to say this, Melinda, but I recognized it right off the bat as the stem head of a hibiscus. That comes as the result of having taken so many fotos of the lovely bloom. Anyway, magnificent color, light and contrast in this stunning macro, my friend!

I have so much catching up to do! But this is a great place to start. Due to my intense dislike of bananas, I was immediately drawn to the title, having found comfort in the fact that it's not a banana! I love the details and the colors. Playing around with macro lenses is such fun!
