Welcome to Mike Walker Photography!

My home in Northern Virginia gives me access to many wonderful local parks for nature photography. I've also been fortunate to photograph at a number of National Parks in the U.S. and Canada. I primarily shoot wildlife, landscape and macro photography but also enjoy taking advantage of my proximity to Washington, D.C. to photograph the architecture of public buildings like the White House and the U.S. Capitol, as well as the monuments and museums in the area. I also enjoy photographing at nearby historical locations in Virginia such as Williamsburg, Monticello and Mount Vernon. Bird photography is a particular favorite of mine and it's nice to access nearby parks like Huntley Meadows, Mason Neck State Park, Prince William Forest and Great Falls Park to capture a variety of bird images. I bought my first SLR camera in 1970 (a Minolta SR-T 101) and my first DSLR in 2002 (a Nikon D100) and have been shooting digital ever since. I'm currently using the Nikon D3 and Nikon D300 cameras.
