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.

Excellent pic. Andrea

He does look kind. I see him as a gardener or archeologist, probably because of the hat. A wonderful portrait.

AMAZING WORK!

Yes, a flash would have done wonders, but this one is fine and unique in its own way, A. It's not that easy to create a masterpiece of a moving object all bathed in sun and shadow.

Looked at both photos and I have to say I like this one better - more character in your character

I have a friend named David Lamming. He looks just like this guy or vice versa. David is only 48 this man is a lot older. But the resemblance is very spooky. I suppose in a way this give Dave an idea of how he is going to look when he ages. Excellent random man.
