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.

A British dragonfly...and a new named insect for me. Imagine the field of view this guy has...maybe 270 degrees or so?

I have just found it it is more probably a Scarce Chaser, which is a new species for me!

Jeepers Creepers? We are dating ourselves, aren't we?
Amazing how close you get to these little guys. I still say they look like fighter pilots.

lol, Mark: That's an old lyric, to be sure. And Bill made a point I often think about: How do you process what some insects see: Who needs 2 million views??? Do they ever go to an ophthalmologist and request a replacement? The two shots are really different: The flickr is a bit sharper, and with a curved pose; this one is more about light, and the massivity of that piece of food. It glows. Really intense light in both shots. Beautiful detailed shots, both of them.
(Do you remember when Helle used to post insect macros? She caught heads and eyes that looked like glazed ceramic!)
