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.

It is a stunning close up! Those wings look way too small for it! What is that flower Andrea?

Nice one.

Probably just as well they were preoccupied. That flower looks like some of the illustrations I have seen depicting viruses inside the body. I like the slightly grainy effect. It gives it a certain documentary look. A stunning catch however you did it.

Very risky taking a double head on photo of this pair. They can be very aggressive!

What a beautiful shot it is. A very fine close up imo.

Beautiful shot, and excellent detail considering your camera's limitations as you said. You might find some free noise programs for that. Really nice macro, well done!
