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.

another flower capture with blasting inner hues...I love it. The leaves around have been rendered sheets of translucent glass, all piled on top of each other. And the flower has topaz lines and veins, but you also kept a lot of the flower intact, and it bursts in our faces. A real in-your-face capture. Terrific.
(I knew a woman in grad school who did a masters thesis on Olaf Rudbeck, the guy who this was named after. You probably know of him better than I, but we used to say that rudbeckias ((pronounced 'rude' in the States)) were Beckias who were real jerks. It wasn't funny, but hey, for grad school, that was pretty good...)
