A Walk At Plainsboro Preserve

It was a nice sunny day yesterday so we ventured out to take a walk at the Audubon Plainsboro Preserve near us. It is 1,000 acres with with diverse habitats and wildlife & one of the largest lakes in the area, Lake McCormack. We concentrated walking on the White Trail straightaway because of the nest building of Canada Geese further down the path. We heard & saw the Canada Geese attacking walkers getting too close to their nesting areas. The Featured Image of Lake McCormack is a 12 image Panorama taken @ 14mm with an Olympus OMD & blended together in Photoshop.

  1. Great shots, Reed. The beaver damage is surprising. Your blending of two images for height is interesting- I always stitch horizontally. 🤔

    • Thanks so much Jane! I usually go horizontally! But lately for some images I go vertically! Or go both horizontal & vertical! Mainly I tend to travel light lately with only 1 lens on 1 camera and shooting a series of images for the view I want to capture!

    • Thanks Belinda! And yes they seem to have a very busy Beaver population!! Over the months you see a lot of tree damage! Amazing how large some of the trees are they gnaw down!
