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 such a sweet looking fellow. I remember he took to me well, so did Ralphie. Fritz and Hetty, were more for Denise.

It makes his head look HUGE! What a star pose!

Stellar use of the flash in this remarkably sharp and detailed shot of Buster.... hair, bells, and all, Andrea. And thanks for the reminder. I really have to get into the flash aspect of illuminating my back or poorly lit subjects.

A marvelous capture and facial expression! It looks like the 'beachmaster' has already been in the water!

A perfect vocation for your water dog. The only thing missing is a whistle around his neck. This is a wonderful portrait of the old Scotsman.
