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.

Wonderful capture Andrea. God Bless.

A lovely accident Andrea. My sentiments are the same about shopping as in your 1st one!!

Love the bold, saturated colors. This would make a fantastic large format abstract. As for Walmart, I just don't go. Most of their stuff is made in China and I've tried to boycott Chinese goods as much as I can ever since Tian An Men in 1989.

Very creative accident photo image Andrea. The awsome mix of colors and lighting are gorgeous. Really does look like stained glass.

Wonderful artwork, even though this is a happy accident, I can still make out the strip lights and shelves :}

Lots of stunning effects in this nightmare shot, Andrea. In my nightmare scenario, running second to the undisciplined urchins cavorting amok in the supermarket is finding that the store has run out of items I had gone there for. Number three would be the skyrocketing costs.

This has turned out really well and it makes a great abstract. I send hubby to the supermarket so that solves a lot.

Is this a cousin to the Spin-and-Jiggle with a nice bit of digifiddling involved? I'll have to look into the other version to find out, and I must say that this does recall the structure and the essence of glass! I love the colors and I can understand the numerous sentiments that make up this shot. Happy accidents are fun, a lesson I learned when I first started photographing. Impact was nearly involved but water was not. I'm glad of that. Though admittedly, impact can be interesting as well...and fun...just as long as it doesn't involve me or anything that I might need or want. This is wonderful.

This is what I see if I use the self checkout at Tesco, something always goes wrong and it would have been quicker to use a till with 40 people waiting.

Ooh, I love it! Beautiful work!

Some accidents turn out wonderfully and this is a prime example of that.

it's really a fortunate accident

I like this better than #1 because of the bold colors but I still understand how you feel at Asda and especially the screaming child in the check out line!!!!

If one didn't zoom .. so much interesting texture was not seen! I have none of the problems you have with sound, but I still hate shopping. Apparently that gene was not passed on to me. I'm not even going to bore with all the twenty bazillion reasons I hate shopping, grins. Though one does involve screaming brats. love your digifiddling .. it's always so awesome.
