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.

Isn't it amazing how little is necessary in order to convey light, shadow, and shape? I love the result you got with your d-f-ing

I love the clarity, colors and lighting on your gourd window shelf. The colors did it for me!!! :>)

when you do your edge-work, and break surfaces into hue-areas like you do here, you just master the thing. Wonderful play of delineated areas and cartographic lines; the sharp luminous light you have in the color version (the light there is beautiful) comes out, here, as very powerful accents in a sea of dark grays. And because it's in mono, the border-lines become analytic essays on all these shapes. Plus I love the lines in the window. Splendid piece. I love what you do with edge work. (Btw, I haven't fav'd a thing, and haven't anywhere for a few days now. My fav's don't show up, mostly, so I've stopped. But you know how much I love your work, so take a huge fav for the whole lot, including this gem.)
