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.

I think padded gloves would be best, these look very sharp. Excellent clear capture. 😀

Wonderful play of light and shadow. They do look very wicked. I have a tough pair of canvas gloves that work very well. I keep them right next to the pruning shears so I don't forget to wear them.

under the right conditions, these can flatten a bicycle tire

man, those are some formidable thorns. When you first posted this, I studied the thorns, and how you captured their 'Intrusion" and their beautiful hot light. This time, I'm looking at the whole pic, and it's really a stunning image. I love the bright neon-like flashes in the background, and how the thorns pick up the same intense light. A really eye-popping image. (And I'd think you'd need reeeeeallly thick gloves for those thorns.) I like that you have wound wire on the opposite side, as if the wire were trying to imitate the thorniness of the branch...
