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.

A wonderful portrait Andrea, you and your camera are so good at these. I copied off the portraits you did of us the other day and Joan loves hers with the glasses on. I did them A5 and she has put hers in a silver frame !!

A superb image of a fantastic face. A teacher at Hogwarts perhaps. I also like the mono. It enhances the character lines.

Thanks for the links! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his life and how he got into wood as a medium. Such an interesting fellow! Long may he turn! :)

I like the color version best - less "details" than the mono version. I checked out Peter's work from the link you supplied. I was afraid to show JO the 3 carved balls, we have a new entertainment center and plenty of empty shelves. Spectacular workmanship.

Great portrait but the colour version works best.

Without yet reading about this gentleman, you have captured him so well, the B&W version adds an additional aspect to the shot.. I would think of him in some costal village inn wearing heavy knitted wool jumper with a cap on playing an accordion and singing sea shanties. Great character

A sterling pose from a characterful face!
