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.

I think this is nice. I do own Photochopppe, and have trained heavily in it's use, but rarely use it. I always try to do everything 'in-camera', I guess like photographers had to do in the old days. I try to take the right shot the first time, rather than simply 'spray and pray'!

What a story this contains! I can't read it fully, but it's so clearly there. What a terrific portrait!

You have captured this guy so well, Bruce has a very warm and friendly face, I also like the way you have captured the clock in the mirror. For B&W Bruce see your regular email. :-)

This is a quality portrait Andrea, your POV is absolutely bang on. Well done on a great image. Are you referring to Corel Photopaint? I tried it and didn't like it. However I really did like Corel draw.

Superb everything photographic in this portrait of Bruce, Andrea. He looks like a sage of sorts.

A very thoughtful portrait, Andrea, even if you didn't get to do much postwork. He's thoughtful, reflective, and a bit inquisitive in his gaze. And I like your choice of placing him on the left. and letting that beautiful studio pan out in the rest of the shot. His folded hands kind of reach out to greet the rest of the shot too...Very fine portrait work---or semi-candid---and the clock in the mirror is a perfect accent for the whole. It's really well done.
