Amanda Collins Eade
Drag to set position!
I am a retired nurse lecturer in the U.K. My photography is my 'me' time though my new house has taken up a lot of my time too in getting it looking loved again!! I love to take cute and action shots of nature and wildlife. This is my favourite genre and it has taught me endless patience through the lens.
I am proud to be a photographer who shoots in manual mode, preferring to shoot in natural light indoors and outdoors. I learned all I know with the help of books, photography magazines, YouTube, specialist workshops and the kindness of passionate fellow photographers!
I moved to Lincolnshire in December 2024 and we now have a bit of a menagerie! I am blessed with 4 wonderful large dogs (Tibetan Mastiffs) who aren’t shy of my camera and keep me in practice with my action photography.
I take the occasional fun (indoor) series with my 5 friendly Lesser Tenrecs (Madge, Mattie, Boo, Bubba and Banksy). For those who know my animals, I am currently grieving the loss of my teeny tiny 4 year old tenrec Azizi who passed away in September 2024. Lesser Tenrecs are tiny Exotic spiny species who fit on the size of my palm and look a little like Wombles/Clangers with spines!!! Despite the spines, they are not hedgehogs. If you look at my albums you will see lots more information about this incredible but tiny breed).
I also have 6 bearded and non bearded Silkie chickens who are all terribly spoiled but give me the most delicious eggs every day. I also have two golden guernsey kids who are very mischievous but love my camera dearly!!
Now whilst I see love and kindness in the Flickr photography community, I have become adept at recognising that some photographers 'follow', then unfollow quickly afterwards. Or they follow but don't bother even looking at your work!! I'm not sure why but I know it is common amongst those with thousands of followers. I cut those kind of people loose very quickly once I realise what they are about. Having said that, I do love the Flickr experience and have got to know some absolutely first class people from all over the world on Flickr!
A fervent thank you to all those who visit, legitimately follow, fave and give wonderful feedback. Kudos to my fellow admins and moderators on some truly incredible groups on Flickr. Their passion shines through! Huge and grateful thanks to those who leave the most awesome testimonials. Encouragement and praise is always highly motivating and it's good to see nurturing photographers in a time when many are very secretive and competitive about their work. It’s always very appreciated and my fellow photographers' work, genuine comments and feedback continues to inspire me to improve.

It's the first time I have a look at Amanda's gallery : impressive work & creativity in the composition, as well as lighting (particulalry the low-key pictures) !
What beautiful photos... And what luck to be able to approach all these big cats (and other animals) so closely... I think it requires a good knowledge of their mores, a certain complicity and a lot of patience too. .. With that, there is a technical mastery and a certain style.

What beautiful photos... And what luck to be able to approach all these big cats (and other animals) so closely... I think it requires a good knowledge of their mores, a certain complicity and a lot of patience too. .. With that, there is a technical mastery and a certain style. I'm a little jealous that I can't do the same. I hope that my approximate English reflects my thinking well. Thank you for all these pictures.

Une galerie au long de laquelle les animaux prennent la parole ; ils ont des expressions qui de passent de mots, tant elles ressemblent à celles des humains. Humour et fantaisie caractérisent aussi ces belles photos. Une grande arche de Noé ! J'aime beaucoup. Un grand merci des Hautes-Alpes.
