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.

The doodle is a delight, with all the curves and flow-y bits. Mobius birds. :) I love the Topaz filter you used with this. Such a bright and cheerful result!

you couldn't have posted a more fitting image for my birthday, I'm endlessly in love with your drawings and paintings, esp your fantasy drawings and paintings. I love both versions equally---the original, which looks like pencils or quality crayons (I know it's not pastels, from your many comments on RR about your horrifying battles with that vicious cruel medium) (I concur) has terrific grain and modeling too. The topaz is suddenly sheen-y, more 'plastic' (in the sense of surface, not of 'cheap'). And it's more luminous; whereas the original is more matte, more gutsy and grainy. Love it all, with the interchanging "mobius" creatures (tara). Really masterful andrea stuff, you couldn't have made me happier, andrea. I'll be back for more the next time around, but this was a wonderful gift for my birthday, and I thank you greatly.
