“Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of heaven.” – John Lubbock
“Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them.” – John Ruskin
“
Keep looking up! I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. There’s nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day.
Rachel Boston
It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it. John Burroughs
“The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn’t it be?–it is the same the angels breathe.” – Mark Twain
As I have mentioned in prior posts, the New Jersey Meadows or Meadowlands which at one point was an area loaded with white cedar, which was utilized to build burgeoning metropolis New York City across the North River or Hudson as it is called today. After the early white settlers had ravaged all the lumber, the remnants of cedar were overtaken by pervasive phragmites which include as they are often referred to cattails. A natural estuary of brackish water that is a stop for thousands of migratory birds right outside of New York City. After the efforts of the local citizens, the Feds, the EPA and the state to clean up what had essentially become a dumping ground, it is an amazing story of reversal of 100 years of the Industrial Revolution’s pollution of the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers that feed the estuary. I saw such a change over the two decades I resided there, often riding my bicycle through the nature center that bordered my old office. An image of phragmites as the sun was setting in the New Jersey Meadowlands. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamrac @tiffen @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @njdotcom @njspots @njshooterz @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @bergencountynj @mpbcom @kehcamera @siruiimaging #omd #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography #olympus
- [ ] Having raised my three children in the borough of North Arlington NJ where I resided for over 20 years where a large portion of the borough lies within the New Jersey Meadows or Meadowlands which at one point was a area loaded with white cedar, which was utilized to build burgeoning metropolis across the North River or Hudson as it is called today. The remnants of cedar were overtaken by pervasive phragmites which include as they are often referred to cattails. A natural estuary of brackish water that is a stop for thousands of migratory birds, it is an amazing story of reversal of 100 years of the Industrial Revolution’s pollution of the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers that feed the estuary. I saw such over the two decades I resided there, often riding my bicycle through the nature center that bordered my old office. This image is of the cattail variety of phragmites as the sun was setting in the New Jersey Meadowlands. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotoweek @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamrac @tiffen @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @njdotcom @njspots @njshooterz @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful @bergencountynj
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Sometimes when you lose your way in the fog, you end up in a beautiful place! Don’t be afraid of getting lost!”- Mehmet Murat Ildan.
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do.” – Helen Keller
A mini-lockdown project. Here I took 20 pictures of last night's full moon (A65 with 500mm AF Reflex F8) and processed them in Registax 6. I may have overegged it as the picture looks a little too crisp with artefacts in darker areas. There's a useful overview of the software and the technique at njspots.com/2019/09/11/stacking-photos-tutorial-capturing.... So far I have very little idea what the individual sliders do, but is interesting to see detail extracted from a fuzzier set of source photos.
