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.

YOu and tara have kind of led the procession for Topaz, and I'm almost tempted to buy it. The whole suite isn't cheap, though (almost $500.00), but tara says you can get a few modules for free (which won't stop working after 30 days...) Whatever, you've turned this flower into a bulbous pulsing underwater tentacle-creature; it has real visceral presence; and your toned-down light---the pinks are powerful, but the light is muted---makes it feel like something that blooms in the night, or underwater. The background has become a closeup of a big shag rug: A very visceral, touchable shot.
