I was not expecting to see an Osprey perched above #Denville Park Meadows today. Hopefully this bird catches a few trout en route to its breeding grounds.

What I like most of this elevated view is the expansive view of the rear wetlands as well as the glimpses of the surrounding hills.

A scenic coating of powder and vivid Winter sunlight paved the way for some dynamic lake shots this morning. My friend Jon was gracious enough to lend me his deck to launch the Mavic from.
Hiking the Den Brook Trail in Denville
Exploring the Den Brook Trail located off of Openaki / Casterline Road in Denville. I believe the walking trail is only in the early phases of blazing (as of February 2020) however I enjoyed a walk along the scenic brook on a mild sunny winter’s afternoon.

Thanks to the Denville municipal trail pixies whom make the trail blazing happen. We know who you are! 🧚

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.
Prints are available in sizes up to 30″ x 40″ contact dave@daveblinder.com for inquiries.

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.
