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 very cool mask & worth clicking on the link to see the whole thing. The frost only adds to it's appeal...

Somewhere for the insects to hide, I'd have left it too, I am hoping to get frost shots soon too, just waiting for it to get frosty

Love your POV here; I think your mask needs a face mask, or at the very least a nose warmer! Great shot!

Yes, that mask is terrific---I know from personal experience! This shot is great, with all the furry tentacles close-up. And I can attest that those are cavernous nostrils, I love how you put your camera right up against them. (And we can see the little colonies the ice makes.) The frost goes so well with the face. A beautiful image and a wonderful mask. (I'm going to mend it next week---I have to have someone adept with me: I know that sounds silly for a person as adept with hands as you are; but whenever I've glued pottery or ceramics, etc, there's always been too much adhesive, I smear it everywhere when trying to get it off, it's usually a tad uneven---where one section sticks out from the other---and once it hardens, it's a mess to undo it. So I have to have someone who can actually do these things, with me. I promise he'll be mended soon...)
