Tulips
Taken in a dark corner of our living room by available light at ISO3200. The new version of Lightroom I installed this week has amazing low light and noise suppression capability which makes shots like this easy.

Soft Snow
A light snow was falling this morning coating trees, shrubs and grass with an inch or so of accumulation. The grayscale treatment was produced in Silver Efex Pro using a soft preset with minor adjustments in brightness and sharpening. Home in Basking Ridge NJ.

Into the Sun
Shooting directly into the partially obscured, late afternoon sun produced this silhouette in the Great Swamp. Mild weather kept the geese close to home this winter.

February 1st – 63 Degrees
An uncommonly mild day in the Swamp for February. Here’s what it normally looks like in February (2/16/2011). While I often deride climate change deniers for using a single event to “prove” their case, I can’t help but think …….

Passaic Headwater
This pristine stream is near the upper end of the Passaic River flowing through Basking Ridge NJ. The source in Mendham flows into the remnant of a glacial lake which has devolved into the Great Swamp in Somerset County and wetlands through its central corridor.. The river meanders its way through and touches on Somerset, Union, Essex, Passaic and Bergen Counties to eventually empty into Newark Bay and the Hudson River. The lower Passaic has been heavily damaged by industrialization and pollution for more than a century but is slowly recovering through the efforts of both private and public resources. See here for more info.
