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 think you are just stringing us along. My mother was the same way. I have rolls of twine that are antiques.

Cute shot! Reminds me when I gave my brother-in-law a jar for his workshop labelled "String Too Short To Keep;" it was always full, LOL!

Some interesting string there.

Sterling POV and focus. I have a lot of rubber bands and plastic ties, but very little string to go along with it.

Interesting shot.. and the question I ask "How long is a piece of string?" :-) I like these kinds of focused tight in shots of day to day things, because these things are often so familiar to us we often neglect any aesthetic value they may or may not have. I liked some of the works Picabia did with pins and clips and such things forming faces.

I like the way you've piled the string. It gives the feeling of a portrait, or a formal still life. Wonderfully done!

Yes, it does have the air of a formal still life; must be the draped background. What a brilliant composition and shot!
