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.

Cool capture of the magnolias as they revel in the moisture of the fog, Andrea. Looks like a black and white shot.

Great second stage, too:)

This works so well, we sometimes think photography is a no go during foggy mornings and nights but it creates an atmosphere that cannot be beaten for a backdrop for a subject in the foreground such as this. Nice work.

Incredibly lovely! The mist really makes this shot. There is a large tree of these across the street that is showing buds now, soon I shall have to go over and do some stealth shooting!
