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!Â
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! Â
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 can't beat what Tara said - I do like the rusty textures and crazy shapes where the pealing paint has fallen away! A belated Happy Birthday!!!!!

It so much looks like peeled leather! Your light really makes it look like leather. Great cracked paint shot, because there's so much gray surface, and then because the peels are so big, and the metal underneath has gone all red and yellow. And if you look the right way, there's a face. Wonderful peeling close up. It's like the ghost of a door poking through to scare away intruders. Love it.
