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.

Great Andrea. I never get tired of seeing beach scenes.

A lovely capture of the rolling tide, I dare not go up the front here, the term "Cruel Sea" is very apt over the past few days of high tides and what not, people are in danger of losing their lives to get that magical shot and become reckless in the process, I do suspect it's already happened where people are washed out to sea. It can be as cruel and ugly as it can be beautiful at times and needs so much respect and understanding.

great dedi and shot!! Happy Birthday, Dana and many happy returns!! lovely soothing seascape... !! :-) recall when we were sent out of Par (in Cornwall) harbour, -in a former life-, cuz our ship was about to smash the quay. already lost our gangway, so Tur & I had to jump on board (I came back just on time, had been at the local photographer's shop -of course-). windforce 12 and all smoke was going down. ;-) we have sailed 'upside down' on many occassions, but the most cruel piece of water is the Irish sea. even worse than the Biscaya.

Forget the "Rule of Thirds". How about the rule of sixes? A real stunner of an image. The colors are gorgeous.

besides the shades of blues and grays and the marvelous layers, there's the awesome textures, and then picture itself is marvelous!

I like all five layers from the sand, sea foam, waves, open ocean and sky. I know that Dana II will love it!

Super surf and sand layering. The mood captured is fantastic, showing off the calm of the sand and sky compared to the chaotic sea. Thank you dear Andrea
