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.

Window light to camera right has given this a nice structured lighting Andrea. Also the fact that the room is white has helped the light scatter around and fill in shadows, and of course the white tee has served to fill the shadows beneath the chin. Excellent shooting my dear!

A great portrait. If you had not written it, I would have bet that he's hairdresser.

A bright smile and glint in the eye, a brilliant white T-shirt, and cool haircut makes for a stellar portrait of Darren, seemingly one to please all of his clients.

What a fun place that must be to go and get your hair cut! He looks like a great person to hang out with. :)

First class portrait that works in both colour and B&W.

Great portrait.

A glowing face and fine capture of this moment---the man looks engaged and very happy. And, with Ronnie, the light around him gives contrast and structure to the shot. And the light tee shirt is a grounding accent too. The black and white is more intense, brooding---just by desaturating. It's very different. This one feels dark in spots, but he glows. A wonderful moment, in your capture, and a real fullness of personality and presence. More fine facial portraiture from you.

Well, now we know why Karen was smiling - a handsome bloke!
