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.

Wonderful pictures and post work Andrea.
I lost my power steering once and it felt like I was trying to turn a elephant.

Nice spot of color to draw the eye. I remember the days when there was no power steering but, of course, I was much younger then.

I'm skipping because I'm at 40 minutes, and I want to comment on some of your earlier pics too (so they don't get offended). I love what you did with this; I love the angle to begin with, and the move into all that light back there. And then your edgy, cutout-y, fragmented postwork, making all those topographical forms out of each hue area, and how it invades everything in the image. It's a fine shot to begin with; all the more intense with your postwork. And a lot of light in it too. Terrific shot.
(Btw; I don't have topaz. You and tara and helle have been using it for a while; yet I've yet to take the plunge. I don't know why. I'm suddenly starting to feel very old fashioned...)
