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.

Both versions are awesome Andrea.
The little rainbow on Flicker looks really cool on the tree !
Thanks for sharing.

Interesting with both the color which, in this case, accentuates the person and trolley, and the black/white creating a contrasting atmosphere. Keep up the good work! :-)

I'm just back for a few tonight and tomorrow, Andrea, which is hard because I'd like to comment on everything you did, as there's been a plethora of striking images in your gallery. I loved this because of how deftly you put her color against the contrasted black and white of the rest of the image. And your treatment of the rest of the image, filled with all that intense grain and decay and 'topographical' edge work. And the accentuated perspective lines, and the intense coagulation of darks at the back of the image, compared to the bright white surfaces closer to us. And even your postwork on her purse and coat, etc. The shot before (nope, it's after--I just checked) shows a wider view, and you caught the strong contrasts of a storm-ridden sky and how it casts heavy shadows next to saturated light. I loved that shot. As I did this. The blues here really stand out, and draw us into the shot...
