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.

I've noticed how you and tara have gone 'Topaz' recently. Never tried it...You got just the right textures for dried flowers, you made them into a brittle collection with 'rays' coming out of them. A little bit of abstract art (I like the mix), and a stunning play between real object and pure graphics. Can't explain that, but it's very graphic while also being very photographic. And the vase seems like it's made of highly textured glass (because of the Topaz). More fine work from you against white. And you use Topaz very naturally.
