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.

Great shot and fantastic detail, keeping the focus under control has been done well here... natural too. You are doing things with a compact that some people cannot even do with a digital SLR, at the end of the day it comes down to knowledge of the camera being used and knowing how to get the best from it. During my Exmoor zoo shoot I noticed two others there using Panasonic compact cameras, one of those was in the TZ range too... I took a TZ5. well done.

A spectacular capture with amazing clarity and details. Seems like a curious little fellow. Your skippers are much more colorful than ours. Still cute but a dull brown.

He's such a hairy little fellow, which you wouldn't suspect watching them flit around. Fantastic detail in this well-done shot!

A gorgeous head on photo - I have only seen a couple of these skippers and it took me a ling time to realize that it was not a humming bird!
