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.

Well seen. I take the kids at school swimming, and they have these things all hanging from the roof! I dare not photograph them or I would be quickly arrested for being a pervert. Yes it happened last week at the very same pool! He got arrested for going berserk at the actual accusation alone. And not 'calming down'..........I don't know whether he did 'it' or not..........

What a great idea for your 70th! I recommend it be near the top of your list of things to consider. What fun that would be! :)

Great capture, love the colours and great opportunity to take this shot. If only real sharks had eye's like that instead of the dead old one's they do have. Remember that line from Robert Shaw's character in Jaws when describing them in detail?.

Magnificent colors and clarity in this capture of the plethora of whimsical swimming gear. And a jumping the gun Happy Birthday, Andrea.

A colorful collection of floating objects. I fear that Andrew is right - I don't take photos of young women or and children. Everybody screams 'pervert 'these days.

LOL remember being a kid and needing stuff like that??! :-D me wants that grinning shark! -of course ;-) - great idea, Andrea!! but why wait?? :-) (since we're obv. getting candid, I'm 53 ;-)) shocked reading what Andrew said. I think the 'real' perverse lies in the fact that you seem to have to think about considering kids as being sexual 'objects' nowadays and always keep that in the back of your head. cuz if you don't and just take perfectly normal pics, you might find yourself in handcuffs and so on. males and females alike. how sick is that?? and sicker... 'so' I know of friends who were afraid to have pics of their naked newborn printed, grandpa's who no longer dared to change wet! swimming suits of toddlers that were in their care, a girlfriend who works at a daycare center and chose to not move the hand of a baby that was playing with his willy while changing diapers, since you'll never know who's watching?? cameras all over the place!! and mooore... so thank 'em for all the 'second thoughts', ruining all joyful experiences love this pic!!!
