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!
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!
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.

Awesome light - a lamp for the salon made of this leafs would be a megaseller I think.

Back-lit foliage and flowers are just the most stunning things! I'm partially to back lit subjects, even the dogs look awesome with some back lighting. This is one very beautiful capture, it's as if the leaf had it's own inside lighting! I love the shadows cast on it, too.

Gorgeous! I love the shadows, light, and veins. Wonderful detail and color. The red veins are really eye catching.
