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.

She looks like a sweetheart

I can only hope someone will describe me that way when I'm her age! A fine tribute to your friend.

So that's Pat, just as I had pictured her. You've captured her exactly how she looks, without any cosmetic digifiddling. I'm not that far from her age, and my dermatologist is getting obscenely rich preventing my skin from deteriorating beyond control. I wonder how many pounds of stuff, that shouldn't be there, he has excised from my skin over the years.

Wonderful. You've given us the opportunity to gaze into her very expressive eyes. Tell Pat she has an admirer in the USA:)

A wonderful portrait, I love both but the B&W one truly brings our the characterful nature of this lady... sounds like the subject of art may crop up more than a few times when chatting to this lady on visits.. does she still do any art?.

A marvelous portrait. The black and white really brings out her character. She is not old, she is aged to perfection.

Two lovely pics, Pat looks younger in colour.

She's very much there inside her eyes, doesn't miss a trick I would bet. Reminds me of Marge before her strokes took their tolls and ultimately her life. Wonderful portrait!

I like the mono version this time - it seems to be more flattering for Pat!
