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.

I have always wanted to capture one of these, this is MY nemesis. I have seen one once about three years ago, but it was dead.

Both excellent photos Andrea with the FlickR version with a very scary POV!

Did you offer it some sunblock. I can't think of anything worse than a sunburned robber fly. Two outstanding images. The clarity is superb.

A most fantastic result, Andrea, of this "steaming" Robber fly, I hope it has a high sun factor armour. You id great with the post work, my friend.
