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!

Their roar is overwhelming and scares me. Saw and heard many of them long time ago when i visited the Kruger National park for the first time. Unfortunately it was before the photography bug bit me. I wonder how many pictures i would capture if i visit the park right now? Superb capture Melinda. God bless.

Well worth waiting for this ultra cool capture of Leo the Lion, Melinda, as he roars his mighty challenge to all, daring them to try confiscating his territory. Actually, if one didn't know otherwise, that might be interpreted as a big yawn. As for my acquiring a new point-and-shoot, other more important things have arisen, so not yet.

It was definitely worth the wait - to get a result like this - WOW !!! I would have done the same thing, one needs a lot of patience for animal or insect pix, well done Melinda, BB
