Welcome to DrWD40's Photography

 Welcome! This site showcases a collection of my favorite wildlife, landscape, and astrophotography from across Florida and beyond. Many of these images are also featured in my Shutterstock  or Adobe portfolios. 


 I love sharing my work and friends are always welcome to reach out for high-resolution files. All I ask is that you credit me if you use them publicly. Enjoy exploring the galleries below, and thanks for stopping by! 


Gear & Approach
My kit includes a Nikon P1000, Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon M50 Mark II, and a selection of Sigma and Canon lenses ranging from wide-angle landscapes to 600mm telephoto wildlife work. For microscopy, I use an OMAX 40x–2500x USB 3.0 compound light microscope to explore the unseen worlds that inspire my biology teaching and photography alike.
