Water level has remained high for a while now. During dry spells this stream doesn’t show much surface water.

I loved how the trees on the horizon faded away into the foggy winter sky. I positioned my tripod so that the foreground tree guided the viewer’s eye but did not obstruct.

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

I really loved how the roots enveloped the boulder.

Landscape Photography in Denville NJ

In the past I have traveled over much of my home state of New Jersey for outdoor photography.  I had a recent revelation that there may be some outstanding outdoor photography opportunities in my own town of Denville.  Photographing Denville Township’s picturesque lake communities under dramatic lighting sounded like a great new challenge to undertake.

Recent inclement weather set the stage for impactful landscape photography as I visited Lake Arrowhead, Indian Lake, Cedar Lake, and Rock Ridge Lake on separate mornings.  The below images were all taken on my new professional Canon 5DsR camera which should allow for very detailed prints at nearly 4 feet in length.  I might like to exhibit the following views of Denville and others locally in the future.

Landscape Photograph – Jonathan’s Woods in Autumn

by in Foliage Photography, Landscape, Nature, New Jersey Fine Art Photography, Tamron and tagged , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

This image is one of my favorite recent photographs.  It was taken on November 4th 2017 mid-morning on a bright overcast day.  This Autumn was not a colorful foliage season in my area but I was fortunate to come across a picket of golden hued Beech Trees whilst walking a wooded trail.  The trail is situated within Jonathan’s Woods in Rockaway NJ.

Jonathan’s Woods in Autumn. A wooded trail meanders through a pocket of vivid American Beech trees in November. New Jersey Fine Art Landscape Photograph from Rockaway Township by Dave Blinder.

My goal with this image was to capture a frame which a viewer could easily place themselves into.  I had quite an immersive nature experience on this pleasant walk with the fragrant smells of the deciduous forest, the earthy palette of the woodlands, and the slightest breeze on my face.  If this image is successful the viewer should also have an engaging exploration within the frame with no coaxing of words or other cues.  We shall find out when I print and exhibit the piece!

I should easily be able to make a 20″ x 30″ print from this full frame capture.  This wide angle perspective is brought to you by the Tamron USA SP 15-30mm VC lens.  A lens this wide gives an extremely broad perspective and will also make objects nearer to the camera appear larger.  This characteristic can be utilized by the landscape photographer to simulate three-dimensional space in a two-dimensional capture.  It helps the the Tamron 15-30mm is also exceedingly sharp.  Camera utilized was the Sony A7R which produces highly detailed and vivid images of my treks.

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to get out and appreciate your local nature.  Purchase the lens through my Amazon Affiliate link helps support my art.
