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.

Cannot watch anything being done to eyes. Super close up.

Yes it is hard to make your eye go in another direction when doing this!
As for the close eye stuff, I believe Mike has the current experience there!

Talk about impact. Absolutely mesmerizing.

Great capture, Andrea! I could say that the eyes have it!
(in retrospect, I should have had on of the staff take some shots of my eye surgery.)

The color version is fine, but the black and white is, to me, more piercing and introspective. I don't mean you 'look' introspective, I mean the capture feels introspective---a serious eye, a serious gaze. and unblinking---aesthetically. I've admired the honesty of your self portraits, both drawn and photographed. It takes a certain courage to present portraits of oneself this way. I haven't done a very good job of it. I Love this shot, and that you didn't go for a 'beautiful eye' shot. In the process, you produced a beautiful and haunting eye.
