D Reed Photography

I grew up in Orono Maine. My Dad was a birder who taught me to appreciate the natural wonders all around us. Wherever I go I try to find that which is interesting and beautiful. Dear wife, Pat, and I spend much of the summer at our “Camp” on Bailey Island, ME and spend the winters in Minnesota (go figure). In Minnesota, I work with the Carver Park Reserve in Victoria, MN to photo-document the wonderful creatures found there. We usually go someplace warm every winter to escape the worst that Minnesota weather has to offer and I have included my favorite pictures from Costa Rica, Florida and the Honduran Bay Islands of Roatan and Utila. 

The equipment I use is largely Canon lenses with the Canon 5D or 5D Mark-II. Most of the telephotos use the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS lens. For landscapes, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens is my current favorite. Macros are taken with the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro, Tamron 180mm Macro or Canon MP-E 65 mm 1-5x Macro with twin-flash.
