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 took me a second to realize that these were remote controlled (RC) watercraft I'm not even going to ask how much each one is Great capture

Nice capture. Here they race RC speedboats, its amazing to watching. But I really like the serenity of the Sailboats more

Fantastic capture of NO. 34 making its way around the buoy. Great shot of the "Skippers" steering their yachts around the race track.

I remember these as a kid, quieter than the planes and choppers, nuisance is when they sink, mine once did and got my father to roll up his trousers and get it back for me... it was a shallow depth. These look safe unless the sail goes flat and gets soaked. Nice shot

That's a bit sexist assuming that just cos I am a boy I would love a go at this........................OK I would LOVE a go at this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a similar lake and group of serious sailors here on Albert Park Lake....which once a year is also the F1 Grand Prix track.............to the lament of the sailors! https://www.google.com.au/search?q=albert+park+model+yacht+club&num=100&newwindow=1&client=firefox-a&hs=MWr&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&channel=np&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=qRRXVJnqIY3z8gX93YD4Dg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1760&bih=866

Ohhhhhh, I had to look at the flickr image to understand what you were talking about. Was not aware of this hobby, but you sure got a pretty shot. :)

A relative of mine has some RC boats every thing from yachts to speed boats.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

We stopped at a park a couple years ago where one of the main attractions was a private RC car track. Apparently it's serious business! I'd rather swim, but hey ... the more people at the track, the fewer people in the pool! :)

Fine capture.

This photo has a great reflection Andrea but both versions are well caught!
