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.

He is welcome to come over here and do ours too! We have holes that seem to hang around for years. The councils are too busy fining dog walkers me thinks!!!

Blimey, a mono portrait reminiscent of those taken during the Great Depression of the late 1920s and early 30s. Love the lighting effects, clarity, tones and textures.

I like the original, but this one is so much more ... I don't know ... imposing, maybe. Terrific portrait ... his eyes are wonderful!

Great B&W portrait but your man for the day could do with a shave. It looks better in B&W.

Great portrait

A classy mono shot of a real face full of character, well done!
wysiwig
What a great portrait! He has the face of an explorer, Edmund Hillary and the like. He seems somewhat amused by the situation.

It's quite excellent in mono, and he does have a twinkle!
danapommet
I liked the twinkle in his eye also. He is already to break out into a full smile. No favorite between these two photos!
