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.

Well fiddled Andrea, I have fond memories of this place :)

Nicely designed pier. I like the covered walkway. We tend to build our piers out of wood so storms can knock them down. Great POV and post work.

Beautiful graphic treatment - it has a kind of Japanese feel to it...

I like the way your digifiddle flattens and simplifies. Wonderful work!

LOL! I have almost this exact same shot from my visit there five years ago...I never could figure out a way to fiddle it into postability, though. You did a wonderful job on yours!

I like your digifiddle on the bridge but I love the digifiddle along the surf in the water. Exceptional!

Reading Denise, I can see that this sight poses problems for the photographer---too much mass on top, and not enough light. Your postwork changes it utterly, and is some of my favorite, and again in zoom it just pops out, all over. (I still get upset when I see that half the commenters didn't zoom, they just don't know what they're missing!) Yes, you break the world into all these colonies, but it's also about gradated hues, the hues go from one to the next, and get more intense as one moves in or out of them. And the atomization of the water is terrific. As is the "rust-decay" breakup of the bridge surface, in your postwork. Terrific. A big display of multiple processes, and I think with the upper slats of the bridge, one could see a slightly japanese motif here (ala Claude). Love what you did with this. (I hate skipping around like this, but I want to get one or two current images!)
