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.

I like it!

My first impression was a maximum security prison. I just can't imagine being there and the lights turning off automatically after a certain number of minutes. The photo sure creates a surreal impression. But, the place isn't odor proof! So no storing of ex-wives here! Keep up the good work! :-)

Cool !

Interesting series of shots. The ones I've seen all have doors opening from the outside, no interior hallway.

Excellent perspective shot!

Great POV down the corridor Andrea :)

We put our furniture and belongings into climate-controlled storage when we sold our house and went on the road, and then had everything shipped to Texas when we bought the little place there. It was much like this, only with roll-up bay doors and wider hallways. It's kind of an echo-y, strange feeling to be in there, and you've captured it perfectly! I like the one with your friend as a purple specter, btw. :)

Nice shot but the place looks clinical and unwelcoming.

Think of all the worthless junk behind those doors. The key to freedom is getting rid of your stuff! :)

Looks like something out of a horror film.

I love that you ended your description with a report on a grisly murder---and then that the guy was caught. THAT'll wake up your customers. So this is your first experience with these fluorescent inner hells? I've been in a few, and they're like long eerie morgues. I expect to find dead bodies in all the rooms. Your 2 flickr shots are equal to this, and the one with the purple person, the inner-hell apparition? Terrific. This shot captures the whole essence of these neon-feeling hells: The semi-terrifying overhanging ceiling. The overdone laboratory light. The sterility. The lonnnnnng halls (and no one in them---who would hang out in these hallways?) The always dayglo colored somethings---in this case, the doors. ("It's Decor, madame.") The always silvery glows of the walls and floors. The always encouraging signs---like "Electric Shock". (I was in one that had a sign for a fallout shelter. That makes ya feel good.) And you got the lonnnnng reflection on the floor---that long white river of light---which makes the hall look like it's made of water or glass, and the apocalypse is on its way. And the angle at the front---where the wall juts to the right?---the perfect end for the piece. You captured it. This is how they look. Terrific work, Andrea.
(When I lived in Manhattan, I was in the Lower East Side, which---then---was a run down leftover from the migrations at the beginning of the 20th C. Dilapidation to perfection. And there were apartment hallways just like this. And lobbies. And subways. Grungy but eerie neon silvery white places. And they were like that 24/7, and people lived in them---homeless, as well as druggies and some hippies. And when you went into these place, you smelled grass (marijuana), opium, and god knows what else. And people would undulate to music, and make the place feel like a bacchanal from before the Flood. And---like here--no windows, no inkling of an "outside world". Manhattan felt that way, back then, a transported little universe, hermetically sealed from reality. That's what your picture feels like, and your postwork atomizes it to sci fi specs. You got it perfectly.
