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.

oh this is just the best. I had to do at least one portrait in these current sessions, and I just love this shot. Big beautiful smile, gentle connected gaze, you gave us a nice swath of his shirt with those beautiful reds blues and whites, the comfy old jacket---looks like an old friend---and that hat! The hat is the crowning touch. It's so dominating, but his smile is so infectious, it melts the mass of the hat, and, instead, the hat becomes soft and inviting. A wonderful portrait, you do have a knack for capturing essences in a moment: Love it. And very nice of him to let you post this for us, too.
