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.

Love this. I always wonder what treasures are behind such doors.

nice captures. love the contrast of the older to old to new on this door

Aside from the wonderful contrasting textures (I especially like the cracked, peeling paint), the composition is outstanding - it would look great blown up & hanging on a gallery wall. I like the fiddled version as well...

Thanks for sharing.

I like the patina on the hinge but I really like the weathered wood and paint. All make for an excellent photo.

This is very nice.

terrific. Your flickr version has very finely done manipulations, they really have a fineness to them. This, however, has nature's own filters---age and decay---and you caught the contrasts wonderfully. Even the hinge has wonderful patterns on it. And the whole composition is finely varied. Well captured and well composed. A wonderful combination of elements. (All of which really stand out in zoom.)
