About Photographer Doris Leightley

Profile

I have been taking photographs for many years now, particularly after discovering the joys of using an SLR camera in my 20s. Until recently, most photographs were of people, places, pets and flower close-ups. In the past 3 years, I also started taking more wildlife photographs. I now only use digital SLR cameras.

I have also been painting watercolours for many years and before that, as a teen, I sketched a lot. My sketches were mostly of animals and people.

Personal Philosophy

When photographing, my aim is to not disturb wildlife, birds, and plants, or cause any damage to the environment.

Equipment

Canon digital SLRs (EOS 40D and EOS 5D) along with Canon lenses.
