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!
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!
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.

I admire your pluck Andrea - I don't think I would get away with it! You take some real good portraits this way.

I like 'em both. He seems to have a bit more sparkle and personality in color, but the b&w is nicely dramatic. You meet the nicest people! :)

Superb portrait Tizzy style, Andrea Blessed with a terrific growth of hair and eyebrows, but I feel, in my own conservative way, that he does need a shave.

The scarf makes the color version pop out. Another handsome lad!

You clearly have a good way with people in being able to capture them, it shows in the shots you take, they never seem uptight or miffed I guess that comes from asking before doing at close quarters. It reminds us that people are people no matter what walk of life.. rich or poor... Each person is a life with their own story to tell if they so chose to do so. Nice capture of this guy.
