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.

Lovely bottles. I couldn't tell what you were wearing when we met !!! Whatever it was it wasn't something to be sniffed at. Lol.

I love those bottles, with replicas of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on top!

Statement bottles! But what would one expect from V. W. Super image.

Attractive bottles and your lighting is, as always, superb. It looks like they have copped the Royal Orb.

So beautiful bottles and yes, I also love the lighting here.

Bottles are amazing but with V Westwood I am not surprised!!!

Papal bottles indeed, and as Dee points out just like the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch hehe!

With all due respect, this looks like something that the RCC would push on the females in the flock - 'wear this and sin no more!' Wonderful capture

I'm glad you are still doing these shots of your perfume bottles like you did years ago. Very pretty! :)

A fine front-forward shot of these two bottles, with enough of an angle on both to make them individual, and strong light on their "crowns" to make it look like they're wearing jewels on top. (Your slight downward angle helps that alot.) I don't know how you construct your backgrounds, but the divide between lighter background (bottom half) and darker (upper half) is quietly blurred over, as if it were watercolor; and it makes a morph rather than a divide. And the darker is perfect foil for the brilliant reflections of the bottle tops. With very sweet reflections on the bottom of the image. A primer on composition and presentation, and another fine entry into yet another of your series that I love. Great that, even if you don't want the scent anymore, you still make art from its bottles.
