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.

Those Sh&t Eagles in the foreground look similar to ours!

I like this in sepia very much! It gives the shot an old-fashioned feeling, despite the newer boats.

Sepia sure puts a dated impression on this new version indeed.
Oh lucky you -- thanks for sharing your experience on Flicker.

The small beached boat is a wonderful symbol to go with your narrative. It is reminiscent of sunny days sailing on the bay until, as you put it, “I became both achy and priced out of the hobby.” I also was a sailor for a time but now I get my kicks riding motorcycles.
The article on the visit of H.R.H. Margaret was a very interesting look into a formal world that has largely disappeared. I wonder what ever happened to the Golden Hinde?

love the nostalgia effect of color setting and its an impressive motive 😃
