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.

Zounds, a bloomin' web it is, beautifully contrasted with the backlighting against the dark background, A. I originally thought that you had used some kind of filter to emulate the web.

Yes it was. I wonder what she was catching? This is just stunning. What a beautiful web.

Oh yes indeed the sun was perfect, and so was the way you shot into the sun to capture the effects. Great focus right across the entire web, you set your camera up just right. I also love how you created a zoom effect with the blurred leading lines in the background. Exquisite work.

When you look at how beautiful a spiders web truly is it makes one feel rather guilty in the garden when they get broken down and come next day it's rebuilt again, such hard work and done mainly for survival, they can be wonderful with morning dew on them and caught in the sun as in this example, this only goes to prove that nature is the greatest artist of all. Great capture.
