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.

Clever fiddling my dear, looks like a drawing that has started to be water coloured.

I do like the skeletonised look you have given the background leaves it gives this real punch!

Beautifully isolated and presented!

There's always one that doesn't fit in, thank the non-existent supreme being for that. A superb graphic art image. Would make a great poster.

A very pretty color in the cherry leaf and thank you for leaving in the veining during your digifiddling!

Oh, well done! The postwork is really gritty, colony-type of stuff. Lots of microscopic swirls, centers, mitochondria, etc. And gentler 'grainy' places, for contrast. And the big red cherry leaf in the middle is a great contrast. Really fine work, Andrea, just really fine. This and the color shot of similar leaves (maybe they're the same shot) are terrific captures of leaves in their later stages. I'm really impressed.
