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.

Great Scott, how do you get such nice bokeh with a point-and-shoot Tizzy? And I didn't know it was MrsRatBag's birthday. Foiled again, just like every year. Thanks for the reminder. Anyway, a lovely pic you have chosen to post in celebration of this momentous event for our wonderful lady.

Stellar capture. And in orange and black, just in time for Halloween. Reminded me of the old children's song. Ladybird! Ladybird! Fly away home. Your house is on fire. And your children all gone.

Excellent shot and dedi for my honey Andrea. Slowly catching up here, with slow being the operative word. This windows 8 is so slow, it is the worst OS since Vista.
