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 portrait !!

A fine portrait of the hard working chap, Andrea. He's thinking, "Who me? All this notoriety for cleaning a bloody cooker?"

Now he is a hero, viewed by many, lovely study.

Excellent shot Andrea!

It looks hard for him to smile but when he does I bet it really enhances him. Mono is good.

A splendid capture of a friendly and honest face. The 3/4 view here shows him at his best I think.

I think a bit more distance (photographicly) would have improved the portrait; in this one the effects of the wide-angle-lens are too big i.m.h.o.
