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.

Excellent POV on this Andrea, you may be envious of the red veined I got, but I am envious of the common, don't have those at our eco parks, you have thought so being a "Common" species, but who can figure nature. Also what I find remarkable about all dragon flies is this ability to swivel the wings into a reverse position, looks as though they are about to fly backwards.

Outstanding capture. I've never seen one from this angle. You have so many damsels and darters visiting your garden that I had this image of Tippi Hedren in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" being assaulted not by birds but by dragonflies.

An excellent shot from below looking up, the detail in the wings is so interesting against the background of a blue sky. Well done.

Well, that's an unusual POV. And what great DOF you achieved! Nicely done.
