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.

again, you've done 'realistic' and postworked in the same image. Full zoom really reveals the contrast. And they work together well--no conflict. The star flower is lush and sensual, like slabs of rich food. The light on the center is almost electric, as if lit from within. And the the background has some amazingly vivid hues---witness the flower above the main flower. Parts of the background are also like textured glass. I love how you combined these techniques. Full size, this thing is a huge pastiche. I love it.

Stunning capture Andrea. God bless.

Orchids are such showoffs, aren't they? I think they are the drag queens of the flower world, over the top and more "flowery" than any other flower could be. This one is incredibly stunning, and the postwork really works to accentuate its beauty!
