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.

Fantastic shot with great lighting. You have such an interesting variety of insects where you live...

Superb detail but then I suppose they are easier to capture than the live ones.

both are great, Andrea. THe topaz is electrified, and I love the purple tone to it. This is a gigantic piece of stoneware, or leatherware. It's amazing this close up. And you got all kinds of dappled lights on it. More fine insect work from you. The Topaz one really does look like it came back from the dead (and was lit up, as a result...)
