Filmed at Silas Condict County Park in Kinnelon NJ. A great facility administered by the Morris County Park Commission.

This morning I was using an elevated handheld tripod technique to remove perspective distortion from my landscape photography.

It helps to have a lightweight setup and strong tripod for this technique.

This Tree Frog was silent and mostly motionless so it was dumb luck that I noticed it.

Spotted Turtle

Morris County, New Jersey

In my experience, Spotted Turtles are sparsely distributed in Northern New Jersey. I recently stumbled on this one and photographed it in Washington Township.

I liked the curvature of this driftwood and also the combination of shadows and highlights upon it from the morning light.
