A 10 stop neutral density filter exaggerated the water motion in this photograph to the tune of 30 seconds. 10 stop neutral density filters are available for all interchangeable lenses and can often be purchased for $30 on Amazon if you shop around.

A small gap in the clouds allowed a sliver of light to strike distant cattails.

I don’t recall incorporating Skunk Cabbage into many landscape images before so I was overdue. This bend in the brook was particularly lush.

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

Spring Landscape Photography at Wildcat Ridge WMA

Spring Landscape Photography at Wildcat Ridge WMA

An expansive beaver marsh in Rockaway Township made for a nice opportunity to photograph scenery. Incoming rain clouds and soft overcast light set the mood so I setup my Canon 10-18mm lens, Canon SL2 DSLR, and Manfrotto tripod to try to capture the scene.

This particular trail is off of Green Pond Road and parking is just opposite Lake Denmark Road in Rockaway Township NJ. Beautiful nature area with great wildlife habitat.

Bare trees and fog are favorable ingredients when going for a desolation mood. I find the conditions quite inviting for outdoor photography and hiking.

I really loved how the roots enveloped the boulder.
