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.

Awesome work Andrea! I look at the gorgeous sweater you are wearing and want to jump back in the pool! We have typical hot weather with occational thunder showers! Real summer weather!

great self portrait Andrea. I had to look up what quiff means. it is either a tuft of hair, or a promiscuios woman, so I'm guessing you were refering to your hair. :)

That's not a quiff - that's your tiara!! Very nicely done Andrea.

A self-portrait is always revealing a lot about the person... Very nice iupload ! :~)

Good fun indeed! I just looked up quiff in the urban dictionary...wow, never heard the term before...but I know the look (having gone to high school in the 1950s). Most creative self portrait...:)

Love the reflections (especially of the mirror, reflecting yet again), and your postwork is just right. It's always a joy to see bits and pieces of your place. :)

Wonderful portrait, Andrea!

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the..........? Well, at this point, I'll just let it go at that. Cool self portrait, Andrea, deftly handled in your own inimitable way, performed with your reliable Tizzy strategically out of sight. Interesting objets d'art adorn your wall, but what exactly is a quiff? A quaff I know, but a quiff?

Hello:)Andrea! I like to see you and your place! I envy your sweater too, lol!!!!and quiff must be cool whatever is:)I love the face in pieces in your wall:)Wonderful work.Thank you!:)

wonderfully done!
Chipka
The textures in this are perfect, especially in your sweater! The light is fantastic and I love the idea of a wall with an ear, an eye, and lips on it! How fantastic! This is a brilliant self portrait (sans Tizzy) and I love the digifiddling you've done. This is great!

Nice work, as for the camera one has to decide if there is enough of a difference and then go for it.

Great shot. Love the way you managed to hide the camera.
