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.

Wow. How can you come so close Andrea (focus length 5mm does not look like a zoom lens for me)?

I have this thought that they are just waiting for you to come out into the garden and then its "Hey, Andrea, over here! Take my picture!" "No, don't take his picture. He's ugly, take mine!" "Is this pose OK? How about this one?" Even from a distance its uncanny how you can capture so many images. Insects are skittish creature to begin with but they seem to feel at ease around you. This is another amazing image but the head on shot is truly spectacular.
