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.

LOL --- Gotta be someone with more money than brains to overhaul this baby !
The ropes in both pics. look well used, rusty and dirty to say the least.
The green one looks kinda cool.

Hmmm, maybe so!!! Great old boat though.

The selective appeal of rust & corrosion is an interesting phenomena. Some find it simply unpleasant & distasteful, while others, who find cheap, mass-produced plastic goods unpleasant & distasteful, appreciate old decaying things for their honesty & authenticity. I'm definitely in the latter camp (plus I have a very poor sense of smell, which can be a blessing at times)...

Your friend has a good sense of humor. Old ships are a little like old people. Most just see the wrinkles. The lucky ones see character, experience and untold stories. I'm curious to know what the new owner intends to do with this.

nothing that a little TLC and a lot of money can't correct! Great captures
