April Storm over Wildcat Ridge
 
Rockaway Township, New Jersey
 
I was at the right place and right time for dramatic weather at the local hawkwatch. I’ve photographed from this vista dozens of times but have never observed such defined clouds. A seemingly ethereal light struck the foreground as sunlight permeated the sky.

My first assumption was that the Tree Swallow was preparing its nest in this cavity. However when a Bluebird burst out of the opening and chased off the Swallow it was clear I was witnessing a different scenario.

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

Real estate work brought me to Sussex County today, a good excuse to get outdoors with the camera for an hour.

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

by in 2019, canon eos m50, Landscape, Sussex County NJ and tagged , , , , , | Leave a comment

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.

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

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