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.

I like the POV of the FlickR version and I like this as a people study. What does he ponder and did he come up with a solution!

I like this one better, because the placement of the light pole puts him "in" the picture, as it were. The other one separates him from his environment. They're both thoughtful statements (if you wanted to do such a thing) but I like inclusion better than exclusion. Well ... unless I need some quiet time, and then all bets are off. :P

This one does generate thoughts and emotions. It seems that someone should be sitting next to him. A missing loved one perhaps. I agree with Tara on the composition.

He is far away Andrea. Amazing capture. God bless.

You have a gift for seeing the right moments and being able to capture them without compromise it would seem. I was thinking you were using an SLR camera but the trusty TZ series can be fantastic when you learn their quirky nature. Well done. SLR's tend to be more for organized shoots that are planned or it's tiresome having to carry one, especially with a zoom lens on it... Panasonics are pretty good compacts.

Excellent compo... And a wonderful sky! I like the mood...
