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.

A superb pair of close ups. But your post work is brilliant, everything is intensified. A beautiful flower but I still get the creeps when I see one. Your treatment of the center here makes this look like an iris that could open up and swallow you at any moment. I'll say it again, these sunflowers are aliens from outer space.

Both are beautiful, and yes, with Mark, sunflowers can be formidable and even scary. Your topaz version is a big swirling power center, with the geometry of the thing standing out stunningly. The reds coming out of the center are wonderful 'energy' lines. A real eye popper.
