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.

It could be an implement of surgery or torture as well! Ingenious tool and cool postwork!

They had a tool for everything in those days.

Awesome presentation of this golden oldie Andrea. Think dandelions are destroyed with this type/ or similar piece of equipment.

Clever little tool... to think these things have been around for years and still do the job perfectly, Nice shot and I like this post worked version too.

Love the abstract this creates! Your digifiddle has given a simple object depth and interest. And the tool looks so useful! A great combination. :)

It looks more like a weapon!

Man, only 3 zooms (not counting me): Well your fans don't know what they're missing! Full view, this thing is massive! Your squiggles and tectonic 'fault-lines', all those eroded land-lines and shorelines that you get in your postwork, just open up before us, like a vast geologic map. I'd know this for you anywhere. It's mainly a white-and-gray image (with some very warm and very cool grays), but you've got browns and gray-browns and rust-browns too. The weeder is like a sword, enshrined by all this striation. And the colonies and isobars on its handle are grand and brooding (in hue). The original shows it as a beautiful old tool---something old and with artisan-like qualities. (I love the little touches, like the ring around the uppermost part of the handle...things like that.) But in this pic it's like a closeup of a huge aerial view of a landscape. With striated geological formations. Zoom's a must: A big geological blast of Andrea-land. Wonderful. (Andrea, I've not fav'd anything yet---because I got so wound up in the art, I just forgot. I mean I know it's just a formality, but your whole gallery is a fav. And I love this piece. This HAS to be seen full size: I love what you do with edges and flattened hues, and how you break through the flatness with many gradations of hue as we move through the image. This is a big geological map. Love it.)
