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.

You get them by the pairs there eh? 41 years I have lived in this house on and off of course, and I saw one three years ago. I hate London because of that. Still no info from the housing association in Bedfordshire, but they have not written us off, we had to send then signed photos of us and some other documentation, so that means we are going to be offered something. Excellent shot BTW after my rambling words :)

Excellent snap of what look all the world like Martian invaders, what with that oval metal plating on legs, A. And its elongated proboscis emits flames at its unfortunate prey.

"Hey, what's down there? Anything to eat?" This must be seen in zoom. Stunning shot and pin sharp.

A cracking shot of a handsome pair, though camera shy! I always think of the stamps (Green shield) that they gave away with petrol when I see these!

cool shot !

Brilliant capture, you have a gift of presenting such character from the insects that you manage to photograph, this is not a skill every photographer can hope to have and comes from detailed observation and knowing how to capture them with the camera you choose to use.
