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!

Marvelous shot. Very long and sleek and I love the way he stretches out on that petal...as if that will hide him from enemies.

LOL I was photography a mill yesterday and came across a praying mantis first time photographing them what fun they are such unique creatures, this one would stop when he heard cars go by and watch them then look back to me and my camera lens like ok take some more photos of me, I had a blast watching him so close up. Great work.

Great Scott, an excellent macro of a Praying Mantis, although this one not in the process of praying. It seems to be all stretched out for a snooze under the sun. I can never get over their triangular heads. Really a fine capture, Melinda!
