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.

This is a great character shot Andrea. Perhaps you were bitten by the dreaded Netherbury fly!!!

And his duties consist of what? I don't understand the title. Is he what we call a parking valet here in the States? In any event, that surely is a striking portrait of the jolly gentleman, sporting that impressive and well trimmed mustache, Andrea. He evinces character lines that won't quit. And ever so glad you're feeling better after your lengthy illness, young lady.

I rather like the color version and he looks like he is enjoying life!

Glad to hear you are near normal (or as normal as you get). Outstanding portraits. I favor the b&w as it shows more of the man's character. Love the brush under his nose.
