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 in two ways, it's a beautiful sunset and a great pic overall. Take away the basket and the wires you have an eclipse of the moon!!

The balloon adds an effective focal point to what would otherwise still be a very nice sunrise...

What a gorgeous sky!

Sterling POV and lighting effects. The sharpness of the balloon really pops out against the sky. Your TZ3 did a yeoman's job in this outstanding capture, Andrea.

In David Niven's words: 'The Moon is a Balloon' - a very dark Moon! or so it seems! - that was good timing, with the interval! ;) I wish I had a Tizzy like that - WOW ... BB
