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.

A maelstrom of raindrops and various shades of orange in this top notch macro, Andrea. Living in a drought affected area, I'm jealous about your rainfall, just as I am with your plethora of insects. What did one chick say to the other? You should see the egg marmalade!

Really beautiful colours here, and I love the detail in the leaves and the tiny 'fur' on the stems.

I think that the postworked version has the edge this time. Lovely details and clarity!

This looks like some sort of salad. I think your post work of this really makes it sparkle. It seems a sharper image than the original.

I have to go with this version Andrea, it is just an exquisite shot! Instant fav!

Love the raindrops, these plants seem to look best when wet. I prefer the straight version.

This is a must see at full size, though I have to admit that my inner insect declared: oooh! salad!, which distracted me enough to inspire the need to rummage in the refrigerator for something to eat. (One should embrace one's inner insect, but don't let it make food-consumption choices!) And now that I've got sufficient snacks shoved down my gullet, I can comment on this image without too much distraction. I really love the colors and the shapes; there is a nicely layered feeling here and the water-drops are superb. We got clouds but no rain, but this has been a very rainy spring, and a cool one too...I've only see one yellow jacket so far! Oh well. This is brilliant work.
