Morning photography at Troy Meadows in Parsippany NJ

Great skies earlier today!

I found some interesting symmetry and warm morning light. Out shooting with the Canon SL2 200D DSLR + Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8 OS lens. My trusty Manfrotto tripod is with me as always!

Stream in Winter

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

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.

Canon EOS M50 – First Day Out

Canon EOS M50


24 megapixel mirrorless camera
My first day out with this new camera. I will be using it for filming wildlife in Ultra High Definition (4k) as well as general nature photography.
The articulating screen and touch screen are great features. Having a few less manual dials than a full sized DSLR will take getting used to. I love being able to use all of my Canon mount lenses onto a small camera though.
I should be able to run detailed prints up to 20″x30″ from this setup but will continue to use my Canon 5Dsr for heavy duty landscape work. Let me know if you have any questions about the Canon M50 which I may be able to answer for you.
