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.

Colorful as it is but I can see your infatuation with Topaz, it enhances everything.

my last day on RR for a few weeks, and I'm doing one last comment per gallery before I go. I wanted to do your beautiful recent river shots---one with rosie in it---but I chose this instead because it's so unusual, and so you. I love the bold contrasts---in full view, the zipper pops out and slaps us in the face. I love the rings on the end of the zipper handle (I don't know what you call that! the zipper puller?) and how you bring out the gold/brass tones. And how the zipper folds in on itself (on top), and the 'glass block' distortions you created out of the background. And all that white, to contrast those deep blues, oranges, yellows, etc. Terrific shot. Whatever you use the zipper for, it'll never look as explosive as it does here---but it'll make a big statement wherever it is. Love the shot.
