The Photographer

Hi, I'm Greg Molyneux, a shy landscape and nature photographer living in coastal New Jersey—Exit 63 if Parkway numbers are your thing. When I'm not outside capturing nature I partake of the coffee and internet a lot. Naps are cool too.

Respite

December 10, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm blue hour photo of a calm Little Egg Harbor. Using left to right panning to create a smooth motion blur.

What we do when our hobbies teeter on the brink? When the plateau lasts so long the urge to press on becomes as flat and indiscernible as the far off horizon. How do we get our mojo back?

Can’t Fight the Light

July 13, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

A smoldering sunset burns over the lush summer green salt marsh at Cedar Run Dock Road photographed at 14mm focal length. Seven bracketed exposures one f-stop apart merged for HDR to maximize dynamic range.

It seems everything is burning around us. Far too much desire to tear it all down and reign over the ashes. The dark side farce of humanities unpleasant underbelly seems to be boomeranging back once again. History is undefeated, yet the beautiful skies still burn above us indifferent to it all. Let’s rewrite our story and dare to be different, yeah?

The Way of Walking Alone

July 6, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

100mm macro photo of a dutiful bumblebee collecting pollen atop a fresh daisy blossom. The image is cross processed to give it a more moody tone.

The bumblebee works alone. Dutiful to his task, hard at it for his hive. Out in the world it is a solitary life of discipline and purpose. Skill builds for honing a craft with a singular drive, full of intention. What can we learn of the bumblebee? What can we learn of ancient masters?

The June Palette

June 7, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm HDR photograph of a pastel sunset over fresh summer green grasses of Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh.

Nothing beats the look when the salt marsh powers back up to full strength as it radiates a fresh green color like no other. It’s so fresh and full of life, it’s total rejuvenation right before the eyes. And the way it plays with the blues and pastels at sunset is unlike anything else. It’s a joy for any landscape photographer to behold and capture.

Shaken

New Jersey photographer Greg Molyneux shares his latest hospital scare the day after capturing a sunset out on Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh. Heart issues continue to weigh heavily on his mind, and has him shaken to the core. Stay healthy out there, and take care of yourselves, my friends.

Rolling On

May 16, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm sunset photograph over Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh in mid May. The sky and clouds light up in pink pastel tones as storm clouds roll across the marsh from the western horizon.

Sometimes all you need as an evening jog, some Star Wars audiobooks, chicken tenders, and some attention grabbing clouds and then, boom, a 14mm sunset photograph over Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh in mid May happens. The sky lit up in pink pastel tones as storm clouds roll across the marsh from the western horizon.

Standard Orbit

May 14, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

35mm square format photograph of large hydrangea hanging baskets lining a greenhouse corridor within Longwood Gardens conservatory.

The Longwood Gardens conservatory is a sight to behold. The crowning jewel atop acres of grounds fit for any court. It is here I encountered the majestic hanging baskets bursting with hydrangea paced about 20 feet apart. An orbital welcome, a floral chandelier guiding me about this aged, overground manse.

Ground Level

April 22, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

35mm ground level photograph of flowers at Longwood Gardens backlight by powerful golden hour sun.

A springtime visit to Longwood Gardens with close friends is good for the soul. Spring season flowers were in bloom, and the late day golden hour sun danced upon the flower buds. An ideal mix for ground level photographs.

The Blind Side of Clarity

March 4, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

A brooding 35mm low key blue hour abstraction with pan shot motion blur stretching the Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area lakeside landscape into the look of a painting.

You need not me to tell you the world is an all out dumpster fire right now. Pandemics, invasions, unchecked authoritarianism, a warming planet, rank incompetence, and on it goes. It all feels a blur, and you are right to fret. But we must hold firm. We must take care of our own and hold space in our hearts for the other. We are all strangers until we say hello and smile.
