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.

Marvellous shot of this sea scape. It's beautifully sunny here but quite cold.

What a beautiful scene! I love the sense of impending weather.

You've nicely captured all of the majesty and might of the ocean....

It's like looking in to the future! A gorgeous shot! The zoom colour thing is due to the compression of data, it's hard to get ( 2244 x 1200 ) image under 500 kb. It's does it by clumping together lots of pixels and reducing the range of tones. I bet it looks great at full res and full Mb size!

Great seascape Andrea :)

What a beautiful view, but this time I like it not zoomed, as then I can see the whole pano. My screen is not very large.

This is a very nice seascape Andrea and zoom is still good. Having to reduce the size of the pics for posting does reduce the quality.

Totally awesome sea scape and people walking about.

Great light quality of the water

What a fantastic shot you have pulled off there, the weather changing like it does along with the light it can be very difficult to get the right balance, this works so well.

A beautiful image of sea and sky. Not quite lowering but the title could also have been "Just before we got clobbered". I just got done watching a Top Gear episode where the boys were testing convertible sports cars to see which one leaked the least. The most hilarious quip was the claim that the convertible is the perfect car for Britain since it never rains there.
