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.

Another outstanding image. They do have rather cartoonish features. Sort of like the cat that ate the canary.

You could open an insect modelling agency... the studio being the back garden.... it's as if you have a connection with the many insects you capture, they seem to warm to the lens you train upon them. Maybe they want their 15 minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised all those years back. Failing this option there is always the more lucrative darker side of insect porn... titles like "The Hot Rock", "Daisies Delight" and "Stung into Submission". lol... great shot Andrea.
