    controlled burns

    I have been through many of the controlled burn areas in the pines. Not sure that these burn hot enough to really accomplish the task of preventing a larger fire or limiting the area to a pine forest. Just my non expert observations. I know the some areas near the bomb range are to be...

    Photography lessons

    When I had the D90 I had a problem with it sometimes way over exposing when I would wake it from sleep mode while in Aperture priority. Other frames in the series would be good but the first few were not. If you send me an email we can discuss things further. Mike

    Photography lessons

    I was hoping to charge an affordable fee. I did not make that clear in my post. Glad you find it of interest. Thats a great camera. I had one for a few weeks. But decided to stay with Canon. Certainly a small group would work to keep costs down for all. We can meet in the pines and go from...

    Photography lessons

    Anyone interested in improving their photography - digital imaging skills and be able to create photographs and not just snapshots? What you would learn from the lessons would extend beyond your taking photos in the pines. Key is to learn how to see the final image before you even point...

    Apple Pie Hill

    The only way for us to keep many areas of the pines clean and preserved is for each of us to monitor it ourselves. I will donate money and my time toward a camera which we place at the tower and some other areas. We will most likely have to testify in court at some point and perhaps could...

    A new fight over how to save the Pinelands

    As I stated in another post many small lots exist. The following is from the suggested changes in the CMP. Note the last sentence. ........."A final limiting factor may be the relatively small size of properties in this management area. Of the approximately 61,000 existing parcels in the...

    Pinelands Commission certifies Stafford Master Plan

    Good questions ! Part of the purpose would be to keep eminent domain from taking the land from you. Then provide tax credits on the preserved land and perhaps used against other property you may have or otherwise. I have been contacted by state who wanted me to donate land. So I asked...

    Pinelands Commission certifies Stafford Master Plan

    My thoughts were not to have a any involvement with a organization owning the land. All is privately owned. A Preservation Landowners group would be formed to assist each owner to keep their land. I have no trust in large groups after my personal involvement with two NJ groups. These...
