I went out for a walk this morning at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. I saw a large snapping turtle moving from the pond to a marsh area. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V3 camera and the new 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 400, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/60 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Nik Define, and Photoshop CC. This image is not cropped, and if you look closely you can see my reflection in its eye.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
