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.

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

I always loved walking along the beach when the surf was up like this. This capture is vivid enough it brings back fond memories of the sounds and smells of the surf crashing. Since I live 3000 kms from any ocean it is an old memory indeed.

A truly british seaside look, you are so lucky to have this on your doorstep! The sea green hue at the wave tops is not often caught, looks great!

Such a beautiful shot and I so love the green colors, where the backlight is shining through the waves.

Looks too choppy for surfing. Wonderful color and composition.

this is not the place or time to 'Catch a wave' those pilings look a touch wicked and would hurt like hell to smash into them Wonderful captures
