Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

This is great! A "tennesseecowgirl" composition with some "beachzz" postwork. Perfect! I'll make a deal with you, my friend. I'll postwork your pictures for you, and you can come work in my garden! :)

I like it - a lot. The only thing that bugs me a little is the brightness of the trees in the right background, but that's a minor problem, at most, AISI. As for postwork, well, a lot could be said for and against it, but I think here it works very well and does the image justice. Without the PW it might have been a pretty average image of an unremarkable shed, but you added an ... otherworldly quality to it that draws attention to something many people passing by that place might overlook or ignore. And to me that's a good thing, because I sometimes feel that details are far more interesting than the "grand" pictures. There is so much we can discover all around us if only we look closer, and if it takes postwork to point that out, so be it. Sorry for the rant. :-D
