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.

She's so fun! I love the hair, and her stance.

The Expressionism filter makes the background leaves match her hair...love it.

yeah, with bill, your postwork makes her hair match the leaves. This is really vital and exciting, and I love the swirlies you got with your filtering; the background is ultra alive, with a touch of some of van gogh's more curvilinear line work. The woman looks triumphal here---in the flickr version (what a contrast!), she stands as if on display: It's a very formal and almost abstract version, which I like a great deal. Here, she's like a mythic goddess proclaiming the sun. And the angle makes it look like she's resting against a huge pillow backdrop. Terrific filter work, Andrea. This thing sings.
