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 love this! At first I thought it was wing flutter, which I love, then I saw that it was landing or leaving the flower! Wonderful catch, Andrea! Instant fave!!

I am amazed that at 1/8000th of a second this has wing blur at all. Well done.

A super shot well caught.

We've all known that for years. Oh, you mean the butterfly. I can't remember ever seeing a butterfly take off or land unless it was on film. This is truly unique and something that would be the envy of every professional nature photographer. You are right to be pleased. An absolute stunner.
