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.

Wow, that dramatic lighting really makes the drops pop! Well done!

The deep saturated green and the drops are fantastic but what takes this image over the top is the composition. The rust tipped leaf adds a contrasting color and breaks up the symmetry. What a marvelous find and capture.

WOW! WOW! WOW! The good thing with being behind is I can catch up and see things like this! WOW! Needless to say, I love this! Those water drops are amazing: such perfect little jewels, and the shades of green are a marvel and I love simply staring at this and seeing the different greens, the light, and the shadows. This whole image simply dances.
