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.

beautiful !!

A friendly looking lady with a happy glow! You do know how to relax your sitters. Taken a bit too close for my liking to be honest. I like to stand back a bit and zoom in, as wide angles can make noses look over sized. Who am I to say though you have taken hundreds of wonderful shots of people you have just met! She may have a big nose in real life!!

Blimey, a most fit portrait of the old girl, all jolly and all, ey what? She looks like a lot of fun, Andrea, a real party girl. See what the boys in the back room will have, and pour me the same!

I bet I'd like to sit down with her and spend an afternoon trading stories. :) Terrific portrait!

I like this photo and this series but I don't think that the mono versions are not so flattering for these 'young' ladies!
