Yet another image from last weekend’s trip to Sandy Hook, NJ. I was drawn to this scene by the way the ice had formed on the rocks. After getting home and processing the image, I found that I wasn’t really pleased with what I had. There was, believe it or not, too much blue. Blue [...]

These were the only blurs that I did during our recent (weekend past) trip to Sandy Hook, NJ. The layers of water/ice followed by reeds followed by more water/ice and more reeds before finally reaching the sky just seemed to beg for [...]

Barb and I were up at 0400 and headed off for Sandy Hook. We arrived before sunrise, actually before civil twilight, and I set up on Chokecherry Beach to photograph the sunrise. The morning was tad cloudier than I had hope [...]

My wife an I made an early morning jaunt down to the New Jersey shore, something we will do often between now and say, mid-April. The area we usually visit is great for wintering ducks and shorebirds because there are a series of 10 or more lakes just [...]

This image was made this past Saturday morning at Chokecherry Beach, Sandy Hook, NJ about 7 minutes after offical sunrise. The clouds really caught my attention as we drove across the bridge and on to the thin strip of land that is Sandy Hook. It was just a [...]

My wife and I hit Sandy Hook (NJ) for sunrise with visions of bird photography dancing in my head. It was a total bust. I did take a single bird shot. I did run into a bird photographer friend out there on the North Beach and [...]

… as in the small falcon and not the magician.
Saturday, we took a ride to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Brigantine, NJ. It is a great location for migrating and wintering birds and is located in the wetlands and back bays [...]
