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.

A great street candid of pain and anguish! And they say " its grim up North ". Its grim everywhere in the UK at the moment.

Outstanding work Andrea. Reminds me of the Western Cape. There was one day during our holiday that it became suddenly overcast and suddenly started raining. God bless.

Gloomy look under the shelter. The post work enhances the feeling. Your Flickr image was unexpectedly bright, cheery and colorful.

Great impressionist style postwork in this stellar capture, Andrea. And thanks for the update on your spare Tizzy 1. For a while there I thought that your dead one had risen miraculously from the ashes.

Nicely done, with lots to see here!

I like the postwork ... it enhances the feeling of a cold, rainy day. (We're experiencing quite a bit of that today!!) Great compo ... you have an unerring eye!

I like the look on the face of the gentleman on the far left - probably questioning the sky - how much more he can take ? precious image, BB

the flickr one may be brighter and more cheerful despite the rain, but this one is superb! The post work makes it look more like a cold dreary wet day. I love your postwork, it's always perfect, not too much, not too little, you always get it spot on.
