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 this Andrea. The fiddle seems to lend a lot to this shot.

GREAT SHOT

Swell colors, lighting and textures in this digifiddled delight, Andrea. Nothing like a bit of age old oxidation and deterioration to add glamour to a shot.

I like the textures in this digifiddled version (rust, peeling paint and checking in the wood post) but I also think that the barbed wire in the FlickR version adds something. It is OK to call me crazy!!!!!

Great mix of textures. If you look closely you can even see the age spots on the links.

Nice work, I love these kind of subjects, handles and chains etc.. they take on a whole new vision when you go in tight.

another cornucopia of decays, cracked paint and surfaces, contrast of metal and wood, and plants peeking through as they tend to do. All presented with a gentle patina of your beautiful postwork, including that edge-work (or equivalent) that renders color areas into little colonies. All combined into a big in-your-face image. You've always done chains and posts so well; and I saw the flickr version---very different, and with a beauty and sharpness that could only come from a non-digifiddled piece. But this has its own beauty, and the meeting of chain with metal wood and plant is a big climax in the music. Big bulbous and beautiful.
