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.

Wonderful detail on the 'collar'. I have several growing near me. I like how they peel as if they were sun burnt,

I saw the face as soon as I zoomed...though your Jane Austin comment definitely helped. Full size this thing is a big spilling vortex, just piling down into the bottom of the frame. Beautiful piece of de-formation, and I can see the clergy collar, as well as a number of old collar-type designs. The decay on top is splendid. With lots of white behind for contrast. Big splash of a shot, like someone dropped something in the bark, and it went "bah-loooooooop!"
