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.

very nice shot and the filter fits too, like how the golden lock builds a focus in the repeating grey structures :)

You can make the potentially mundane so fascinating and that is the sign of a good eye... you present to the viewer a different way of looking at things be that a straight shot or with post work, either way it's always interesting. We can see what it is but reduce it down more and it could be an abstract work...leaving it visually identifiable presents it in two ways and it can still be effectively abstract depending on how you look at it. If you rotate it upside-down the only thing that makes it identifiable is the padlock.. initially it is not as easy to identify it. This is how some people who learn to draw are sometimes taught, instead of copying an image the correct orientation it's place upside-down and the pupil may find it easier to contemplate drawing it easier. Have you ever heard of Betty Edwards?.

Like a stack of pancakes behind bars, in this most interesting pic, A. Metal on metal, with cool texture. I trust that all is rustproof.
