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.

ok, full zoom is a symphony of lucid and sometimes eye-popping hues and blobs popping all over the image. Those bright blues and the bluish undertone in the petals (which are otherwise saturated pinks and red-pinks) are beautiful. And the lower portion of the image is big celery stalks, very visceral and green. In mid zoom, it becomes more of a flower-amidst-leaves-and-stalks; but your postwork still renders it an eye-grabbing abstract. A beautiful job with a flower and its surroundings. And it's luminous in many places. Love what you did to this. Really grabbing work, Andrea.
