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.

I really like the colors and textures in this image. Some of the fragments remind me of the walking leafs I saw in ?Southeast Asia.

I always like the textures on these shots.

Amazing - could also be the flaking bark of a particular tree species !

This shot needs no postwork it's great as it is.

Outstanding rendition of one of my favorite subject matter, Andrea. Could almost pass as lichen or just plain tree bark.

I enjoy the cracking effects and patterns of old paint – a plus if it includes rust! :o) Liked the digifiddled version as well.

That deep, deep flaking is hypnotizing! I keep trying to mentally peel it back ... it's a joy to see!
blinkings
I gotta say they do look like they need replacing....or at the very least work done on them! Maybe they could hire the guy who designed the Bournemouth Imax to come up with the look of the new lampposts. They'll be 200 metres high!!!!!!!!!

Nice abstract texture study. It reminds me the peeling bark I see on madrones...

U would think that they would leave them unless they are replacing them with new ones great shot of it.

Texture, texture, texture...ahhhhh.

It almost reminds me of some kind of lichen. What a wonderful capture!

I must think a lot like you. They pulled all the wonderful old lamp posts down around here and replaced them with fiberglass ones. ugh.

cool capture!

They will replace that with some awful concrete or steel. These old Victorian lamp posts have a ton of character.
