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.

I like it too, a lot! This looks like its 100 years old. Superb vinrage look. Well done.

I like it too. There is a kind, gentle, humor in his expression. The sepia tones and postwork give it a timeless quality and a universality. It makes me think of others who have these same qualities and to feel good about humanity as a whole. He looks like a lovely individual.

Great fiddling, Andrea. It looks like old times, and has a magnificent mood. It does justice on this lovely man-portrait.
