Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I onlyĀ 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. IĀ carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series,Ā binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
IĀ am gettingĀ theĀ hang ofĀ Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Ā
I have a wildlife gardenĀ in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagersĀ a while ago.
I'mĀ now getting some good results withĀ my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, butĀ the mistakes are much cheaper!Ā Ā
I haveĀ 4 lodgers,Ā 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Thats a beauty. Great focus, I still have a tough time with DF's. Don't know why? Good job.

Another excellent photo, the wings look so delicate.

Such a handsome green-eyed boy. They must feel very comfortable around you for you to get so close so often.

I am really fascinated by the lovely patterns depicted on the Cordulegaster boltonii dragonfly. And, you have absolutely no concept of just how lucky you are, Andrea, not only in snapping stunning photos of beauties like this, but in having any insects to capture at all. Is my envy showing? Good.

He is a beauty, and a lovely shot. The greenery (evergreen or yew?) makes a great backdrop.
