A change in the weather

November 23, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A black and white HDR photograph of fierce clouds, a tidal pool and undulating sands on the beach in Holgate, NJ.

A change in the weather — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

Holgate, New Jersey. Back to where it all began. This is the photograph. The date? January 1, 2012. I didn’t know it at the time, but this began a 365 day (366, it was a leap year) photo project that would later transform into a full on passion. I am thankful for life and its odd twists of fate.

As for tonight’s shoot? I was hopeful the clouds would break just enough to allow sunset to do its thing. That never really happened, but for tonight that was OK. With storm clouds moving through in advance of tomorrow’s rain-out, the clouds were plenty dramatic. Combine that with the tidal pools and undulating sand patterns marking the foreground, and I had the ingredients for solid landscape photo. Considering the abundance of grey the stretched on for miles, I had a notion I may go black and white for the final processing choice. Once I got home and went monochrome with Silver Efex Pro 2 my decision was made.

Oh, and speaking of weather—it may snow for Thanksgiving, New Jersey.
