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.

Each version brings out something different in the scene, and I like them both!

An abstract of biblical proportions in this splendidly digifiddled presentation, Andrea.

Striking image!

How lovely this is! I love Obsession, but it's so easy to use too much and be overwhelming. It's nicest as just a subtle hint...

It's a good name - we all have them!

Two wonderful images. Love the digifiddle.

oh, this is my kind of postwork...I just love what you do with edges, and how you "colonize" hues and get all that geological detail, and work in such coordinated as well as contrasting hues (your browns and reddish hues in the right half are examples of coordination, to me). And little things like that blue colony in the upper right corner...it's the best. You've turned the original---a nice photo (with one of your bottles)---into an electric study of form and line and biological patterns. And the card becomes this growing molecular force taking over the page. A wonderful addition to your long (and to me, enormously vital) bottle series...with that signature postwork. Love it.

I love your digifiddling - it is always so creative but I have to rate the two photos as even!

Really beautiful result. Could be a fancy painting too :)))
