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 super rose and capture Andrea.

Beautiful images, intense color, great with water drops. Noticed the name commemorates a British composer when I first saw it. Seems appropriate.

Two wonderful roses. As far as I remember from my time working in a music publisher shop, Benjamin Britten was an English composer.

I love the roses with the raindrops.

Lovely rose drop shots! I like the narrow DOF on the deeply pink rose giving a soft glamour to most of the rose.
