Finale of the Mill Pond Park Series

The Finale of the Mill Pond Park series (taken in Plainsboro, NJ) is below. I'm extremely pleased with the results I got.

The combination of 3 exposures (HDR) and a gorgeous, clear day with blue skies allowed me to capture a wonderful nature series.

I hope you enjoy (and feel free to leave a comment)!

Mill Pond Park in Plainsboro NJ

I decided I needed a new place to photograph so I headed into the historic town of Plainsboro, NJ looking for photo opportunities. I was about to give up when I decided to go down some side streets. Thinking I'd strike out again I turned and saw a body of water that caught my eye.

With the lack of foliage on the trees I was pretty skeptical that I'd have good photos ops so I actually decided to get out of my car and walk the area a bit first without all of my gear.

When I decided it was worth a try I got my camera gear and tripod and entered the Mill Pond Park and explored the LENAPE TRAIL.

When you enter there is a sign there that tells you about the Lenape Trail and the history of the Stockton Mill (Stockton Grist/Sawmill) that was along Maple Avenue until the 1930.

All of the following photos are 3 bracketed exposures merged to HDR in Photomatrix and tweaked in Photoshop CS3.











Tomorrow evening I'll continue my work on this series and share more.
