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.

One of my favourite things! And this one has the bonus of the reflected sky colours too. Wonderful!

What everyone else said. Excellent work. Could be the remains of some sea creature.

Looks like a high off the ground shot of a mountain range. Nicely seen and captured Andrea!

wow what a difference between this and the flickr version: The flickr is like lacquered wood, and this is like a real beach. Wonderful contrasts. This reminds me of "my lake" so much. This could be an aerial shot of a huge desert area, with shallow waterways and lots of silt---it has such a geological feel to it. And the colors are muted, but rich. A real zero-in to the patterns of water on sand; and very nice tones too. I feel totally at home with this, even though the Ocean is huge compared to our lake. And I love the contrast between the two shots too. Both are beautiful. Andrea my server is sputtering, and I'll come back for more in a short time. Just did a few now, but I'll do more. (Your most recent one is shouting to me to comment on it. I'll get there soon...)

Yes, yes, yes!! You've captured the feel of the beach at low tide, with all the brilliantly reflected light that goes along with it. Fantastic!! Love it!!

What a pretty textures you could captured here, Andrea. I too love the soft yellow on it. Would be great as a background, such lively.
