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.

You have to look at 'the other one' to know exactly what you are looking at ! Nice work.

At first i thought it was a kind of night painting shot. Very nice work Andrea.

I seem to like the cool effect of this one too! What a neat glow, and the outline seems to leave more to the imagination! Love the outline and the colours! Really creative, Andrea!

Good idea of postwork>

I knew what this was right away but your excellent post work looks like splashes after something has dropped into containers of liquid. Makes a wonderful abstract.

Nice effect but be careful you don't strain the brain using words like that in the title.

Hello Andrea :) I saw the two, but this is fabulous. I love the visual contrast with the black of the background. I like the shadow and the contained use of color. it is an amazing abstraction.

I love it, with the glowing edges; it makes the tools seem to hold the promise of magical powers!

Our connection down here is challenging, so I'm foregoing the second click to Flickr these days, but I don't need to see the original to know exactly what I'm looking at. And wow!! Your postwork on this is perfect! It's hard to find the right sort of picture to go with that filter, but when you do, it's stunning. And this is the right picture! You imbue your tools with soul and drama!

Great subject.. the very tools of creation, like the non post-worked version too.
