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.

A gorgeous view of this scene! The water seems not to be very happy right now.. and I like the capture of the somewhat angry waves! I like the gull up there on the highest point... he knows whats coming! :) Excellent perspective!

I'm not sure if the seagull has read the "Keep Clear" message ;) Very nice capture.

superb capture

This looks amazing... peaceful and potentially volatile at the same time. And you've gotta love seagulls, they just own whatever they land on.

Excellent sense of depth, plus great clarity and mood ambiance of the ocean scene in this stellar shot, Andrea. I like the repetitive posts as they zoom out to sea.

This is a famous place! I know it well... what a lovely scene, with the unsettled sea and dramatic sky.

Any given moment now, someone might turn the light on, where the the seagull is sitting on the lampshade - it's getting rather dark, you know? (I couldn't resist, Andrea ;) a remarkable view and POV, BB
