Eastern Towhee at Oros Wildlife Preserve in Woodbridge NJ

Eastern Towhee

Oros Wildlife Preserve, Woodbridge NJ

I was fortunate that this bird sprung up in a mostly unobstructed area to call. It was quite unfortunate that an airplane flew directly overhead but I was able to clean up the audio a little after trying a “bandpass filter” around 3100hz to isolate the bird vocalization.

Foggy Landscapes at Ryker Lake – Canon EOS M50 + Sigma 17-50mm

I spotted morning fog and made a beeline for Ryker Lake in Sparta prior to other business in Sussex County NJ. The area is part of Sparta Mountain WMA and can be good for photographing wildlife as well as landscapes.

Here is a behind the scenes look at setting up a landscape shot.  My camera setup is the Canon EOS M50 digital mirrorless camera and the Sigma 17-50mm lens.

Nice wintry day today with decent temps and minimal wind. I also realized I’ve never typed or written the adjective wintry before in my life so I had to doublecheck the spelling.

I loved the contours of the cracks in the ice so I boosted the contrast of the photo slightly for emphasis.
