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.

Wow what an attractive spot for the furkids to go for a quick dip on a hot day !
According to tho map Stour Valley Nature Reseve sure has a lot of wildlife, bugs and keen spots of interest for their guests to enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.

zoom is absolutely essential for the sweep and tranquility of the shot. This is a beauty. You know, from your gallery, one gets the sense that you live in a kind of suburban-like town, or very small city in the country; but then other shots give the sense that you're way out in the country, I mean removed from urbanity in any form. It must be a beautiful place to have both together. I love the sweep of this, even through it's not a large swath of river. And the placement of your dogs---Rosie and Fritz come into view only after a few looks. (I forgot if it's Rosie or Rozie---mea culpa! How could I forget that??) It's an enclosed space because of the greenery on the other side, and I love the 'bowl' feel of it. A beautiful shot in zoom, with 3 very content dogs and a beautiful calm water surface.
