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.

interesting capture! I concur with the assessment about clothing but give me great tools to work with and I'm happy (especially camping & hunting tools)

I am not a real designer person but I do like Radley & Joules. You get what you pay for.

Your postwork in this shot strikes the perfect balance between realism & abstraction.
These days, I don't think you can make too many generalizations about brands. The same company might produce both excellent products & poor ones. Fortunately, we now have product reviews from both experts & ordinary customers available online to help us figure out the quality of individual products. There's an old French saying which translates roughly as "I'm too poor to buy cheap stuff" - meaning that you're better off spending a little more to buy better quality products that last than buying something cheaper that you end up having to replace much sooner...

Stunning capture and post work Andrea. God bless.

And when given proper care they will last forever. This looks as good as new. I'm with you on the branding. I could never understand why I should pay three times the price for a t-shirt just so I could become a walking advertisement for the maker.

Oh wow, you got me where it counts!! I can't believe you've had those for such a long time; I lose my shears almost daily. I absolutely LOVE this foto; you caught the very essence of who gardeners are and the tools of our trade !!!
