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.

Usually such a serene scene...but 34 mph winds have a way of changing all that. Batten down the hatches. Fine photo.

Nice perspective along the groyne and a proper winter image. I can feel the cold.

Those bolts along the side would make an interesting abstract too. Stay warm and dry.

Down this way there are some high tides compounded by gale-force winds, I can see the ocean is brewing up for later toil and trouble. Great capture Andrea, I see plenty of foam there too.

I like the light on the wood in the other shot, but this one has power and excitement and a whole different feel. Fantastic!

Been atrocious here too. But a bit of sun is peeking through as I write this. I remember these groynes, I had got a great series of captures which I lost in HD fail. I must return to Bournemouth one day, and shoot again and look you up :)
