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.

Wonderfully clear shot Andrea. Even the fine hairs on his back are very clear on zoom.

A super macro and lovely wood textures.

Great close up but here we call them hornets and ours are getting very sluggish also.

Super shot Andrea. Maybe he was drunk on fermenting fruit :)

GREAT SHOT

I don't see any noise. If you want noise take another look at my images. Stellar detail on this. Is he drunk, sick or is it just the weather?

Superb POV, lighting and texture, A. Did you spray this little creature with some kind of anesthetic spray so it would land for its portrait? And I fail to detect any noise. Speaking of that, did you know that a noisy noise annoys an oyster?

An excellent capture with super detail.

Very hairy wasp and a lovely capture. Our paper wasps and yellow jackets collect wood fibers to build their nests.

They would have to be sound asleep for me to get a shot this good! Wonderful capture.
