Delaware National Wild and Scenic River Abstract

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, NJ/PA.




The 40 mile section of Delaware River contained in The Delaware Water Gap NRA is very scenic but not always easy to photograph.

This image was made on a cold, cloudy winter day in February when not much was happening. Rather than take a boring record type photograph, I decided to try an abstract. The employment of a very slow shutter speed blurred out the large sections of ice flowing down the river. By using a telephoto lens, I eliminated all visual references to what this actually is therefore, creating a successful nature abstract.

Winter is a great time to be out in the field with your camera. I can be found in the field photographing almost every day in the winter months except on the the coldest of days when the temperatures are below 20 degrees. Where I live in New Jersey, the conditions are usually mild enough to be outdoors all winter long. I find I produce some of my best images during this time of year.
