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.

Blimey, a whiz of a portrait of your hairdresser, projecting a great smile with those teeth and large eyes, A. And, your being a lady, I assume all you're going to do with the Random Men is take their picture.

Great portrait.

First impression was of someone well put together and conventional. Then I saw the sign and the stud in the ear. A little zany perhaps? A lovely smile.

Again great use of the available light Andrea, do you think we could get her to send the framed picture to the houses of parliament, it suits them unequivocally :)

Too bad we can't bring Mandy over ... I'd make an appointment with Karen to get my hair cut while we were there, just to meet this delightful person!

A wonderful portrait photo Andrea and I like her motto - "I like being crazy" - good luck to Karen!
