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.

Super shot and idea! I used to always chew the ends of these while drawing as a kid, much to the annoyance of the teacher.

Very nice, thanks for info on the Butterfly. I couldn't find it in my book. Langdon woods was full of Butterflies.

Fantastic idea Andrea, this is what makes photography creative and fun. I don't know why but when I look at this it reminded of a work by Christo called "Wall of Oil Barrels - Iron Curtain" from way back in 1962. They are of course round and the pencil crayons hexagonal.

I find myself staring and studying one pencil end after another. Each is different, with different wood and a slightly different shape and make and color (of course). What a mesmerizing piece!

Oh, a great shot, and pure eye candy to anyone who loves pencils. I zoom everything, but here zoom just changes the picture entirely: It's a big bold late 80s abstract, all of a sudden, influenced by pop art and with almost a Warhol quality. Love it. And for people who love these pencils, it's delicious. Playful and bold and big and beautiful. Love that you post shots like this.
