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.

Not a fan of uber-grain, but you did a fine job of rescuing it via postwork...

Well, I didn't find the original to be 'grainy'---I found it to be more blurred, as if it were a scene from a horror film, filled with creepy intimations of creatures lurking in the shadows. This one has to be seen full: Your topaz lines make this a picture carved into a soft ground, like some kind of wood or porous hard resin. And the light---I assume that's the kitchen (it looks like a phone booth from the apocalypse!)---is almost heart shaped, and it makes a great fiery blast in the middle of this dark, mysterious place. The place feels like a shed after life has left it; but then that light turns it into a landing station. I love what you did with this. (Can you imagine if you actually did this to the garage? I mean, in real life?) Love your treatment here.

Awesome Topaz work... I finally found out how to use mine. I was stupid and missed the "drop down menu" ;-P
