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.

Lovely in any setting, but made even lovelier when enhanced by the wonderful backlighting which really brought out the various contrasts, blends and shades of pink, Andrea.

Flowers can be so rewarding and none more than close-up photography or Macro. I remember many summers in the garden with some wonderful flowers and you know with some it can never be that good again and it can be gone in heavy rainfall such as petunia's and other delicate flowers, capturing them in this way holds on to those moments of natures perfection.
