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!

that must have been the night of a life time.. the fun thing is that when you read you first think.. sunset... sunset.. .huh and than you look at the image and think huh again and than you read on and see that you rotated it.. so if you wanted that effect.. it worked for me.. grijns/grin

I was seeing light and shadows on a drape. It's the colors and the shading that make this ... from any direction!

I often turn the camera at an angle to avoid pesky trees.very effective capture

A stunning image! At first I thought it was a waterfall. Turning it on end was a stroke of genius.

WOW! You know when you have a glass of iced coffee and you add cream, but you pour it slowly so that it remains on top for a while, and then slowly sinks...well...it makes streaks like this, and you can even capture a few of the colors you get here, if you're in one of those cool coffee houses with soft lighting, and even stained glass panels hanging in the windows. That's the feeling I get when I look at this, so needless to say, I wholly agree with your decision to rotate this. And yeah, it also makes me think of soft drapes hanging in front of an open window, so the breeze makes them move. Yeah, this is great! The colors are incredibly rich. I wonder why I missed this? Brain-burp, I think. OH well, at least I got to see it now.
