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 would hate to be a tiny human in this world. I can see where all of the sci-fi monsters come from!

Wow, that is one in-your-face closeup view & I agree with Juliette that she seems to be smiling. And what I assume is a twig looks very much like a log, which slyly plays with my perception of scale...

I would swear you have a communication with these insects and will soon be signing them up on long term model contracts. Fantastic shot Andrea.

Well seen and captured.

She seems thrilled to be in front of the lens. I thought of the title of an old Madonna song, "Strike a Pose". Even more amazing in zoom.

What a close up! How on earth do you get them so sit so still while you get so close! Nicely done!
whaleman
But they can brush over their eyes with their front feet, and that is as good as a wink! Fantastic shot Andrea!
