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.

Andrea, I just luuuuuuv your postwork here! The fragile folded-silk feel you got, the painterly flattening of hues, the dots of color and light...it makes it all look like it's composed of nothing but light itself. And that bold yellow bloom, near-center, anchors the shot. The flickr version---the 'full' version of this piece---is scintillating, and very detailed. It almost feels like an etching, because the lines are so incised, so clean. It's another of your beautiful 'flowers in the house' shots. But here, you zero in on a portion, and you postwork it, and it's like planes of light and hue. Beautiful work, a real eye-popper. I'll take 6!

Everyone needs a blast of color like this is their home--and I love how your flowers are always in front of the mirror---double the fun!!
