Cedar Run Dock Road Photographs

Explosive sunset photo over salt marsh, water, and house.

Here's my complete archive of Cedar Run Dock Road photography. Jutting southeastward the meandering Dock Road features 360 degrees of salt marsh views. Serene and expansive it has for decades been a favorite diversion only minutes from my house. In recent years it's become my most frequented spot for making sunset photographs. Some of my favorite Dock Rod shots include A Marsh Life, Still the Sirens Call, and The path before me.

Wait for It

14mm wide angle sunset photo of pastel colored clouds reflected over Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh at sundown.

One common mistake I observe when making sunset photographers is other people leaving the scene too early. More often than not the best color, intense drama and sunset magic happens after the sun goes down. So when you are out there shooting sunset make sure you wait for it!

Short Days

December 1, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo made of pink pastel clouds over brown wind swept salt marsh grasses and rippling water features.

Winter is disruptive to time, or at least our perception to it. Short days and long nights wreak havoc on our internal clocks sending us reeling to adjust. At times late afternoon feels like the middle of the night and the middle of the night feels like prime time. Despite the disruption, long nights give us much to enjoy—superlative sunsets not least among them.

Bank Shot

November 23, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo with pastel clouds reflecting in an oxbow lake in the Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh.

Find yourself an oxbow lake feature set inside a salt marsh. Set your sights and your gear upon its bank. Pair this with a pastel powered sunset and watch the magic glow, casting light upon the light and reflecting all in its water.

Red Sky Alight

November 16, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm photo of a burning red sunset smoldering over the winter salt marsh with sky reflections in the water.

When the sky fire comes where will you be? Home, work, or set affront the TV? Always look to the sky at sunset should nature bestow its gift of fire, alighting the sunset sky in smoldering tones. Here the photographer earns her keep, and the nature lover observes perfection. We should all be so lucky.

Marsh Brush

November 11, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

35mm sunset photo over the salt marsh using motion blur to render a brush stroke effect on the marsh and clouds.

Sometimes it is best to step back from tack sharp landscape photography. Have some fun and dabble with the form and movement that renders color and form as if at the painted ends of a brush stroke. A little intentional motion blur from time-to-time will set your creative mind free.

Slow Way Round

14mm wide angle sunset photo facing east over the salt marsh under pastel colored cotton candy clouds.

Pastels revisited. Here’s another look at the cotton candy sky show photographed on September 27, 2019. In this image we look east at sunset and see the kind of color over the marsh we would expect to see at sunrise from this vantage. Sunsets, long may you reign.

Late September

September 28, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo of a salt marsh with cotton candy pastel clouds, deep blue sky, and rich sunset colors.

There is something in a late September sky. Rainbow colors paint the sunset with pastel clouds spun across the sky. The cotton candy gossamer is backlit by a deep royal blue. Underneath it all the salt marsh, once proud and green, begins its annual retreat toward its browned suspension of life and vigor.

Tranquility Tones

September 26, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo with pastel clouds, salt marsh, and calm reflective water.

The evening approaches and cotton candy clouds thread across the sky. Pastels dance upon the strings. Stoic marsh grasses stand tall while glass calm waters reflect back the sunset tableau as would a mirror.

Wisps of Fate

September 22, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo with pastel colored clouds over a still salt marsh.

Life is hard. Salvos of burden, stress, and let downs fire across our bows whenever they are least wanted. Some shots finding their quarry. Yet if we look to nature we can find salvation and remember the beauty of life. The strength in every sunset.

Late Summer

August 31, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle HDR sunset photo made over late summer salt marsh with a five distant homes in the background.

Late summer is a time of reflection. On life, on time, and on the other things that reflect past, present, and future. We age and the clock moves faster still, yet nothing gives the arrow of time pause like a slow sunset burn. If only for a few moments all takes a pause and we exist as one.
