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.

Haven't seen one of those since my grandfather died. The brushes in the other image look like they could also be used for watercolor washes.

Perhaps you got it for shaving clay off one of your sculptures.

I loved this as soon as it went up. I love old shaving supplies. They can be beautiful. (And men's razors are now the triple-tiered ones: It's hard to find the old single blade razors, which you adjust by hand, etc. Today, they can sell for as much as 200 pounds!) Full size, this is a beauty. Sumptuous. The potter's brush is a fine foil to the shaving brush, much brighter and the hairs much broader...and you positioned the brand name just right, with just the right lighting and background. A beautiful shot.
