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.

Loved reading those reviews. Your picture makes it look a whole lot classier than I think the smell would warrant. I'm not sure why any guy would want to smell like a Chevy.

In the paper yesterday was an article describing a bill in our Congress to make English the official language of the United States. After reading these hilarious comments about the Chevy cologne I think we should get people to speak and spell English properly before we make it the official language. "Women come pooring in." Really? I'm still laughing.

Brilliant. You got some nice warm lighting to go with the warm tones described Andrea!

That's quite a bottle design; could be a child's toy. Nice setup & shot! What do YOU think of the scent?

The poor command of language is getting worse, and it's accelerated hugely by the use of cellphones, etc, where everything is done quickly and for convenience. (Wht cn u do? Its, like, all ovr.) The reviews are a riot, I read more. But any cologne named after a freakin' chevy truck can't be the most delicate nasal experience, lol. As for the shot, it's solid andrea bottle stuff, you put the bottle in line with the edge of the box, so the vertical wheel-center lines with the edge. Small thing you might say, but it's basic to presentational photography, ad work, all that stuff. And the background tones are restfully gold-tinged grayish tans, reflecting the tones of the box's center---your backgrounds in these pieces are always perfected for your subject. I mean, your sense on how to present all these bottles is spot on, right to the core of it. It's a fine pic, I think you placed the wheel-bottle just where it should be placed. And the red gives the one big diversion from the piece. Fine job, Andrea, and a riot of a cologne. Rlly gd wrk. I lv it! (Or luv it. My heart poors with admerashn!) You know how much I love your perfume/cologne series. (btw my comments are taking longer than usual, this morning, because I'm being interrupted constantly by phone calls. You wanna talk to some of these people? You can HAVE 'm! Bank stuff, insurance, ugh. Don't ask...)
