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.

You remember "Beyond the Fringe"---their routine on WWII? (A fake documentary.) There was a couple who always said---even after bombs destroyed their village---"you put on a kettle: We'll have a nice cup of hot tea". (The British spirit of not letting anything get you down.) In the last version, the man says, "you put on a kettle: We'll have a nice cup of boilin' 'ot water..." (Rationing...) Well, I had no idea people actually drank it by choice! I mean, if they had other things to drink! Well you must've liked it a lot because you did a real Andrea Perfume Bottle treatment, on flickr: It has all the elements, the golds and strong yellows; the dramatic lighting; the power...it's a prize. This one is more postworked, and it has those colonies and metallic hues, and all kinds of interactions across the surface. The glass stands like a huge silo. And when we go from full zoom to partial, it looks more like a glass; but with your striations, viral growths, etc. You do things with glass most of us haven't thought of. I love this.

Your post work makes this simple glass look pretty impressive, almost heroic.

I like cold water, but water it must be. Not soda, not beer, just water.
