Clouds over Trail
Hyper Humus Marsh, Lafayette NJ
Real estate work brought me to Sussex County today, a good excuse to get outdoors with the camera for an hour.

I noticed other photographers posting local cherry blossoms on Instagram and then realized it was time for my annual pilgrimage to Newark.

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.

Due to a recent controlled burn this landscape was given a very stark mood.

Mid-day landscapes are not usually my favorite but the balance of light and shadows striking the foreground trees worked for me here.

Wildcat Ridge Wetlands

March 2019.
I didn’t see much wildlife diversity on this outing but I did see a mating frenzy of Newts in a stream crossing.

Spring Landscape Photography at Wildcat Ridge WMA
An expansive beaver marsh in Rockaway Township made for a nice opportunity to photograph scenery. Incoming rain clouds and soft overcast light set the mood so I setup my Canon 10-18mm lens, Canon SL2 DSLR, and Manfrotto tripod to try to capture the scene.
This particular trail is off of Green Pond Road and parking is just opposite Lake Denmark Road in Rockaway Township NJ. Beautiful nature area with great wildlife habitat.
Winter Fog on Wetlands
Jonathan’s Woods, Morris County, NJ
I normally found exposed tree roots too overpowering for photographs but the roots worked to my liking in this landscape.
