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.

There they are. Lurking. Dopamine receptors going overtime? Hyperactive agency detection - "spooked" by one's own shadow? Oh no.
They're real. Watching us. Doing things to us between the saccades.

I don't think that you are needing a strong postwork like this... but looks great!

I like both of these, Andrea, the first one (on RR) is darker and more foreboding; this has more light and feels almost nostalgic. Like a portrait of someone who's in silhouette but perhaps would like to be out of it. I love the painted glass textures, and your muted gray-bound hues. And the bright light breaking through, around your neck and shoulders. Fine work, Andrea. And your 2 on Flickr are very high contrast, with a feeling of entering into a maddened state, or a scary place. I love this mini series. You did 4 terrific solo portraits, and you fulfilled the series...
