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.

The dreaded 'Black Hole'. Super abstract Andrea.

This looks very sinister. Outstanding capture and post work.

I was trying to fathom out what it was before I read it. Failed but great shot.

Superb postwork. Looks fantastic!

ARGH! I see what you men :-) Hope no little creature goes down there. Excellent shot !!

This is superb! It moves the eye around so nicely, but inexorably draws it to that hole like a whirlpool, and down to that brilliant orange bit at the bottom. Fabulous!

Nice pic, it is a bit sci-fi as I am sure Chip will point out later.

Fascinating photo with cool postwork. I should not like to stick my hand in that hole as I would never get it out without some damage to me

Marvelous clarity, lighting effects and texture in this Tizzy3 shot. On further perusal, I find the condition and design of this tabletop is more appropriate to that of a barbecue grill.

Superb postwork and composition in this one, I love it!

Great shot and post work, I wasn't sure myself until I saw the comment, this is a great technique in taking an object no matter what size and presenting it in a completely different way so as not to convey instantly exactly what it is, the hole is obviously where the parasol goes down through but it was not obvious to me. Well done.

I saw a bit of sci-fi in this too, a warp in the fabric of space .. cool shot, love your postwork on this one.

I like the postwork and the textures on the metal in the foreground!

Based on your description, I thought this was an animal trap!
