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.

oh, fascinating mix of techniques and hues. He's in color, the rest are black and white, and some is postworked to almost textured glass, while other parts are clearly realistic. You're one of the only artists I know who mixes techniques like this, and they work every time. (I have bin-fuls of rejects of such efforts, so I know what I'm talking about.) The face is rich with life experience, as is the face of the woman in front of him (and receded in shadow). A fine 'street shot', with real human character.
