FEBRUARY 11, 2021: Exciting News! I now have my own website where you can see all the photos I've showcased here plus any new additions to come. Visit me at www.lesleywilsonphotography.com.

An amateur photographer, to be sure, but I simply love the art of taking pictures. It gives me great pleasure to share them with others who also love photography.

I've been toting a camera around with me to all the big life events for over 35 years (the birthdays, weddings, Christmases, etc.). In recent years, I`ve really started exploring the artistry of photography. In the summer of 2013, I discovered the world of macros and since then have spent a lot of time shooting the miniature world of insects and flowers.

I shoot with a Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS70 (replacing my now broken DMC-ZS19) and a Nikon D3100 DSLR. I like them both and they each serve a different purpose. The Panasonic is an amazing camera and its versatility is beyond compare. Many of my best macros are shot with the Panasonic.

I joined Flickr in April of 2013 and that changed everything for me. It`s a place where I can learn from the talent of others and confidently share my own images. There is nothing like unsolicited positive feedback to ignite the passion and get me out trying my hand at new things.
