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.

Great expression here! I do wonder though, is she still speaking to you? I try very hard not to be In front of a camera. Seems like I always look similar to this in photigraphs

So candid, natural & expressive...

Excellent candid, made me laugh. I added the musical soundtrack for this in my head, something from an Alfred Hitchcock film. So, is this one of the ones you use for the blackmail?

If I posted a similar of the missus, the next posting, about me, would be in the memorial section. You live dangerously, sir. :)

Love it! In full zoom she's a terror! The high key mono is perfect for her face. And all that from a camera movement? (This is how I pose for pics, btw. Which is why hardly anyone takes my picture...) I love it. Like Mark says, it would go well with a Hitchcock score.
Andrea, I'm at 90 minutes, so I have to leave. I'll be back again, during this stint on RR. I'm not uploading much, so I have more time to comment. (I'm uploading every 4th or 5th day, mainly for dedis.) But, via skipping, I've been able to get reasonably close to the present in your gallery. I see everything regardless, that you can be sure of...
