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.

full zoom reveals a world of electro-magnetic energy lines just undulating through this knocker: You've turned it into a big spill of colonized metal, I love it. The wall is textured in spots---with grit---and left blank in others. And the shadow is layered in increasingly lighter grays. This is my kind of postwork, though I don't do this style very often (or that well): I just love it, is all. And when we go to half zoom, the intimate textures recede, and we see a more stark shot of surfaces and planes. The glass suddenly reveals itself as textured glass, and the lines make a geometric abstract. I really love this Andrea. Is it your back door, or one you found on your travels?

Mine.all mine! But not as lovely as the 1923 wooden one it replaced.
