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 neat. Your sky is a great attention getter too. Almost looks like fire behind the shed. I have a run down old store to upload a day or two from now that will add another run down building to this collection. Bill

Love the open door but "hidden" with a tall bush. Good job on a postwork!

Beautiful ! Maybe pics like this one should be uploaded in the "Photo manipulation" section (though you mentioned the montage). ;) Very well done, Andrea!!

This reminds me of, and is in better condition than my Dads Garage. It was one of those old asbestos ones. I always wanted him to pull it down because of the nice area he lived. I felt a tinge of embarrassment when everyone else were building garage extentions etc. onto their homes. After he passed away 15 years ago me and my brother-in-law got shut of it. Nice shot Andrea, brought a talking point!

sort of a fixer upper as it were. until recently, this would go for fairly big money where i live. great shot .... excellent manipulation the best part is that the real resident has put his (or her) name above the door... i can just make it out.... a... n... d... r... HEY THAT'S YOU!!! (LOL)

I saw a little shack like this near a pretty lovely home, and they had taken the time to string Christmas lights ALL over it, and not on the house itself, it sure gave me a big smile... Nice photo~
