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've liquefied it. Nice work. Benny Hill could always make the word sound dirty.

We didn't go to the Tuba Christmas this year, but I hear they had 580 euphoniums, tubas, and sousaphones! We'll go next year ... it was just bad timing last weekend. It's fun to see this, and to think about the sound!

Wonderful picture of this golden oldie.

well since tara's not here now, I heard a recording of that mass euphonium/tuba/sousaphone group, and man, that's a sound I'm not sure I could take more than a few times in a lifetime. They're really good, but these are instruments that should be played in groups of 2 or 3. Even Wagner's brass has its limits. You really transformed this: The flickr version is replete with rust and age and tarnish and that matte quality you get on shiny metal when it's past its prime. This, on the other hand, is like a big drawing of the patterns alone, like metal beset with colonies oozing their way across the surfaces. Two really different photos---artistically, this one is far more fascinating, whereas the other shows the true aged character of an old piece of brass.
(I was grateful that tara sent me the link, because it was something to hear such clarity with all those low bulbous instruments. But it's like bear-fat or lard; it's so thick you need some drano to cut through it. Not that I eat a lot of drano, but you know what I mean.)
