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.

I would say it's a fine POV rather than a funny one, very dynamic Andrea.

Did you deliberately put the picture on it's side ,I'm thinking of suing you for giving me a crick in the neck.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

Great catch and almost parallel with the roof line. I assume they missed each other or perhaps this was one talented pilot.

Some people say that such trails are just condensation and others say that they have chemicals to control the weather or peoples minds.Who knows?Nice shot whatever the case may be.

A right angle capture is a surprise - for the conspiracy theorists on this side of the great pond - they are called Cemtrails. No I am not one of them!!!

I love this! The flickr shows much more of the cloud-contrail conflict, but this shot has more drama, as a shot. When I first zoomed, I thought of 2 things: 1) Corey Black's shots, because he uses tilts without thinking twice, and he pulls them off every time. (As you did here.) And 2) my earliest shots, NOT because I pulled them off, but because I had no clue how to hold a camera. (Years back I'd have said, "oooh, that's arty!" Now I say, "ooooh, I may puke!") But with THIS shot, I love the angle because you've got a very sharp sandwich up there, the layers of the facade, so clear and contrasted. So, on a tilt, they really turn our heads around. And next to that? Deep blue and the zen painting of the clouds. Wonderful! Ya didn't know Ralph had such a fine eye! (Get that dog to paint, he could get into MoMA.) This shot's a real wake up: Shake up the comfort zone, get fresh air into your lungs, ba-da-boom...
