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.

Nice portrait - the "brolly" (never heard that term before) makes an effective prop & colorful background...

Great portrait of your son next to a very colorful prop. He looks a bit concerned.

Nice job "using fill flash to reduce contrast and bring detail into the shadow areas". This is a technique I know about but have never tried.

I have so much to learn!!! It's taken me all these years to learn how to use the manual settings on my camera. Flash options haven't even crossed my radar yet. I may LOOK like I know what I'm doing, but honestly, my expertise is limited. I love the result you got here, and it makes me think I should learn another new thing!!
