While herping in New Jersey and Connecticut this summer, I found a number of salamanders that I could not identify with any degree of certainty. If anyone can help identify them, I would really appreciate it. Each picture is of a different animal.

Idk what they are, but I've caught a couple of them in indiana
 
The first one, fifth one, and sixth ones all look like Eurycea. The fourth one is some kind of Desmognathus, and the third one might be as well, though it is hard to tell from that picture. I have no idea what the second one is. Those are some nice herps, well done. -Seth

Thank you. What camera angles should I use to make identification easier?
 
1 and 5 are Two lined salamanders, 2,3,4, are Northern dusky salamanders, and 6 is a long tailed salamander.

How do you distinguish a northern dusky from a mountain dusky?

What's throwing me off about #6 is that NJDEP's picture of the long-tailed salamander looks like this:
