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.

Top Class macro! They look like they're tired out the way they hold there wings low when resting.

Magnificent composition and lighting effects in this image of the Darter at work. And love those wings. Plus, how did you get such good bokeh with a Tizzy?

Fantastic detail on both the darter and the seed pod. I cut down about a dozen or two of these and got poppy seeds everywhere!

Such detail! I'd never noticed those little copper clips on the leading edges of their wings. Wonderful shot!

"Ok, how's this? Do you like my wings in this position?" Another superb image. I swear, it's as if they know you.

Excellent capture, I very much doubt if anyone could do better with an SLR camera, it's amazing what you are getting out of a Panasonic TZ3, I got a TZ5 model and these compacts can be surprising when you push them as far as they can go.
