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.

Beautiful capture Great catch on the wing blur aka prop blur

Well, if nothing else, you got fabulous bokeh with your Tizzy25 in this fabulous photo of the hybrid bee/fly in flight, with its wings flapping at a phenomenal rate, Andrea. Since I'm always on the lookout for superior bokeh, I think I will check out the American equivalent of your TZ25.

Just amazing. Professional level capture. As for the flickr image, are you sure that's not a Harrier Jump Jet?

Better than excellent I don't think you could have got it better even with far more expensive camera.

Holy crap. Check out the comment from NightGallery! Wowser. I was thinking it was a terrific shot, but I'm SO not the expert. What a huge compliment!!
