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!
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!
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.

I like these post worked versions but I suspect the non post worked shot would be very interesting indeed, I think you may then have a more powerful image with the human subjects as it would be more clearly defined. Well done.

Like ships that pass in the night. Superb postwork in this effort, A. I really like the POV, the overall ambience of window reflections and general atmosphere.

I like the POV, bright colors and sky on the FlickR side and a fantastic 'mushroom' logo over there also. Beautiful fine lines!!!!

I love your comparisons: The flickr is so---I don't know what: The rest of the image is "straight," and then suddenly the wind-screen looks like a big painting on the wall. Honestly, if you hadn't told me what this was, I'd have thought it an early 20th C painting (in panels). I love the contrast. And then here, you've postworked the whole piece, but the wind-screen is somehow more purified, more delineated. The shapes are more clear. And yet everything is postworked. The reflections really are like ghosts...and the clouds are like paintings. Also, there's your signature edge work, with all those broad hue areas, which will always get hoorahs from me. Fascinating collisions of worlds; and this one has a dark feel to it that makes it into an underground passageway somewhere... (I've said this before, but whenever you give a link to a flickr version, I always think it would be wonderful to see that throughout the ages: So a new Titian would say, "for a different version, see HERE..." Ie, with a link. Did those painters postwork? Did thay have huge filters they applied to the paintings like sheets? And they'd press them on and burnish them? Kind of like Letraset? I'd also like to see alternate links for some PEOPLE---esp the ones you can't stand. When they turn around (and you're ready to run off), you see a link: "For an alternate version, see HERE..." and the alternate is soooooo much better...Someone should work on that.)

another one that makes me so glad I don't have to choose on or the other. The mood changes radically from Flickr to Rendo! An almost cheerful stormy scene, to a moody dark image. The Flickr one looks it's right at the edge of the storm, and the sun is trying to break through .. where the Rendo scene would also work for Halloween .. a dark and mysterious eerie image, right in the heart of the storm when it's darkest! Your digifiddles rock Andrea!
