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.

Superb capture and post work Andrea. God bless.

Ron, with his piercing dark eyes, emanates a striking aura of orange in this fine foto, Andrea.

"a constant massage" Dogs can find the silver lining in just about anything. Outstanding character study. Wonderful watercolor effect.

Ron looks better in your post worked portrait than the real thing on FlickR. Also took a look at Ralph's upper lip - it makes me very angry when so called humans mistreat pets and other animals!

A fine expressionist portrait, though very sad. My mother had Parkinson's & it is a very debilitating disease, especially in the later stages...

superb postwork Andrea. I think I like this version better too, except Buster should be here too, LOL. Though I don't know how you could get him in this portrait!

When I viewed the thumbnails of Ron and Rita, right underneath each other, I felt there was a similarity or connection there, between the two ? amazing character studies, BB
