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.

Such a brilliant photo and Orchid, Andrea. Congratulations being selected for the LWIG. I love this image, as it ALSO SEEMS i CAN SMELL IT'S VERY SOFT SMELL. (sorry Caps Lock ;-))

I'm skipping around only because I don't have time to do them all, right now, so my apologies to those I miss today (they're all worthy of my time). This is a big orangey, almost summer dessert-looking beauty---like it's made of mangoes and purple ice. You've rendered your purples into painterly layers; and in the background you have what seems like blue ribbons flowing down the white. And you've messed with the stems under and around the main flower, and somehow got them to look like lightly iced, delicious fruit treats. I'm really loving your selective postwork: I love how you meld it all into one image. And finally, the main flower is sensuous in shadow; and looks downright edible. A real mix of textures and delicious hues. Very sensitive work.
