Shooting with the Tribe

After the last few months of winter, I am happy the weather has turned warmer and brighter. The landscape has also turned more colourful with fresh shades of green. I am taking the opportunity, despite severe allergies, to be outside. With my camera. The family and I have been on two hiking trips and by myself, I have wandered off into the woods with my tripod and Nikon. But, for me, being outside and about with fellow photographers, talking shop, exchanging tips and learning from each other; nothing beats that. This is my tribe.

This morning I spend two hours walking through the beautiful grounds of the Leonard J. Buck Gardens in Far Hills. I car-pooled with Anjana and John. And of course, Terry showed up. I can't wait for the next one.

I decided to get down low for this. I shot mostly with my Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 but captured a few things with my Nikkor 85mm f/1.8. The rest of the photo set is on my Flickr.

I enjoyed another fun and informative photo-walk with the Somerset Photography Meetup.

I enjoyed another fun and informative photo-walk with the Somerset Photography Meetup. We took a leisurely walk through the Leonard J. Buck Gardens in Far Hills, NJ, stopping quite often to take photos of the many flowering shrubs. The bad winter weather has delayed the blooms of many of the plants in the garden but I managed to get some great shots anyway.
