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.

a light-filled capture, and the outlining on the inner petals almost look like they're painted on in your treatment. It has a textured silk feeling. You did a fine job with this, and the tilted pov makes it reach for the sun...Simple and eloquent flower capture.

This is a super shot Andrea, who'd have thought flowers were still blooming.

These are the most wonderful little flowers; they just take care of themselves and give so much beauty and pleasure all year round. It's snowed here a few times, and they just pop with with their little yellow heads and keep on blooming!! Gorgeous foto!!
