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.

I remember you taking this pic Andrea and I dropped one by not following suit !! Interesting shot and anyone could do this if they knew the ropes.

And you are correct too sweetie. I think those in the street are more "posts" than bollards, great textures in this Andrea.

Interesting pic!!!

I bet that rope is expensive to buy by the metre!

Wow, I love this shot; there's something really satisfying about the colours and textures. Well done!

I like the splitting piling in this version but the colorful rope in the FlickR version adds some punch to that photo!

".....anyone could do this if they knew the ropes." Jeff is back! This looks like it can carry some weight. Wonderfully sharp and detailed image. Great color and composition. During the 17th and 18th centuries bollards were made of old cannon buried muzzle first next to s quay.

I never see that word used for anything but this! Nice shot!

The classic photographic subject.. what makes this one different is it's shape... and I like the colour tones. This deserves a zoom view.

Now THAT is a serious bollard! I like its shape. No nonsense, and no doubt as to its purpose.

Nearly an abstract. Nice textures.
