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.

Great colours in the water.

Amazing. You would not expect much from this but in zoom mode you can see the corrosion on the faucet and the colors in the water. Once again you've made something out of what would normally be nothing.

Mark hit it right on the head, as he always does. The zoom shows a big monster spigot, with water pouring down like a mass of tassels. And, with all those things in the background---huge, in zoom---this is like a big spigot forest, where the faucet is just one giant among many. In mid-zoom (smaller) the contours of the spigot are clearer---and yeah it does look sinister! Closeups'll do that. (Like humans, it's probably saying, "oh god: Don't do a closeup! You have no IDEA how bad I look that way!") A big splash of a shot---no pun intended---and a lot of fun. I'll let Mark have the final word...

Golly big Wow !
Just to think it is still working after all the wear and tear.
Great photo, of the light reflections making a rainbow in the falling water.
Both are super shots Andrea, thanks for sharing.
P. S.
Your imagination and talent is way above and beyond anything I could ever compete in.
I truly admire you Andrea..
