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.

That's one stylishly dressed up Hoverfly! Excellent split field shot with all the detail you could want! A bonus latin name with the seldom seen double U in it.

There are quite a few species, they are not always easy to capture, you have done so well here, lovely sharp detail.

I had one of these once, and I called it a Grand piano Harry Secombe :)

Sharp, crisp and colorful in this, another one of your masterful insect-upon-flora portraits, Andrea. Your celebrated Tizzy does yeoman's work in these type of captures.
