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.

Looks a great walk but my girls would be on the lead, too many temptations in the woods.

Oh yes, this is brilliant. Looks like a walk from the land of make believe back into the real world.

Oooohh! How clever you are! I've been using masks in Photoshop, but maybe I'll have a go at the Topaz masks. If I ever noticed there WERE Topaz masks, I've forgotten. I'll have to have a look!

You've always been a master at mixing real with digifiddled, they always blend organically; and this is a great example. Love the way the foreground is this beautiful dream place with those flattened hue-areas and how the leaves are almost dabs of broad light; then it all transitions to a real shot of a forest and path. It works perfectly. Beautiful job with this, Andrea.
