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.

Well, I would not spend money for something like this, but this is a superb shot and postwork.

Beef Oven as he is refereed to in Bill and Ted. As a musician I'd love one of these, as long as it isn't too big. Light on this is fantastic btw my friend.

He looks very serious :o). Queues everywhere, glad all my shopping is done.

Interesting. My upload "Long Exposure" had a link to one of my youtube site Hawaii Stars. I used Beethovans Piano Music. Aloha

I can never get enough of Beethoven :) good job I wasn't there I may have been tempted to buy one :) lovely shot Andrea, I hope you have a pleasant time over Christmas as for me I will endure it :)

He looks mildly disapproving. Maybe he doesn't like the endless stream of people either. Cool capture. Wonderful light and postwork.

SUPERLATIVE CAPTURE!

Two Beethoven or not two Beethoven that is the question whether it is nobler to suffer the wrong notes of a student than the grand sounds from a master Great capture Andrea

Well, instead of the queue, you should have gotten in line to pay. Queues are always questionable. That said, good lighting effects in this cool capture of the bust of Beethoven, A.

I love the light. One of him is a bit stern and overbearing. Two, three ... I can imagine a whole row ... is quite silly. Wonderful!
danapommet
I do like this bust of Beethoven but I prefer the nonglossy version!
wysiwig
Nice c-c-capture. Do you suppose he would be mortified at being so tchotchke-fied?
jocko500
so wonderful and merry Christmas
whaleman
He made a good shot! And no queue to boot!

Well, is Ludwig angry looking here, you wouldn't guess, such a guy wrote that 14e symphony. Maybe he himself was totally not satisfied with B B Beethoven music at all. A great and shiny shot, Andrea.

Great capture, I bet those busts were not cheap either... I find it better to wait until after xmas day when all the sales appear from boxing day onwards and people will quite happily walk on a fallen shopper on-route to snap up that 60% off item.. when the shop opens to a mass of people galloping in like a herd of wildebeest through the glass doors. Is that a bust of Aristotle in the background?.. good to see the shop caters for those who love Greek philosophers too.

Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.

I walked out of a shop the other day as I only wanted one small thing and the line for the cashiers went all the way to the back of the store. Not worth the wait, certainly! But this photo was worth stopping for, what a great find!

helanker
