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.

AAH, this is even more beautiful and interesting Andrea. And I see fishermen in it. A great pic, my friend.

Wonderful to see this old cog, many years after it was last used.

What a fascinating piece of equipment. Oh....and I'm not on the other side of the world....YOU ARE!

Oooh! I like this slightly fuller view; there's so much detail and the colors are so alive and warm and fresh. I like a good encrustation of lichen and moss and a great patina of rust/oxidation and this has all of that! Plus a human doing something cryptic. A fisherman, fiddling with bait, maybe? A woodlouse gatherer? I like the POV, and the overall mood is just super.

Such a lovely bit of machinery! Don't you just love it when people build such photogenic things?

Very cool shot Andrea

Excellent POV employed in this pic of the uber antiquated and ultra oxidized mechanism, Andrea. Sterling colors abound.

Fortunately you don't need a license to take pictures. This is a great image showing the patina of age and rust and plant growth so well.

A wee bit of Steampunk in the Throop, grins. This is marvelous, even better then the close up!

Love the combination of rust & moss, two of my favorite photographic elements...

Awesome shot of this old relic Andrea. The rust and moss really adds a lot of character to this golden oldie.
