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.

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

June 4, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

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.

Past Glory

February 11, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm portrait orientation photograph of a fiery late November sunset over the Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh. Yellow, orange, and red hues paint the clouds, marsh grass, and still waters, marking a sublime tableau.

Digging into the past. Scratching away at that pleasurable itch of nostalgia. I assume this is a feeling that comes welcomed by us all, though I admit my own Peter Pan bias may be coloring my protracted adolescent glasses a bit here. Regardless, I’m glad to revisit this fiery sunset from November 2021, which I decided to hold out on for some reason. Now if you will allow me the indulgence.

Second Time Round

January 15, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm blue hour photo using panning motion blur to create a dark, painterly effect of Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh.

Shoot the same shot twice and it’ll never be the same. No matter how hard you try this truth will hold. One of the great rewards of making photographs is the differences, both subtle and great, that arise between exposures. Tactical changes take these differences even further. This brings powerful creativity to the photographer, affording all kinds of wonder and discovery throughout the process.

Winter Turn

January 5, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm winter salt marsh photograph at blue hour. Snow and ice dominate the dormant marsh grasses and tide pools as restorative pastels of pink, blue, and purple paint the whole scene.

Feels like an age since I’ve made eyes with a proper winter scene on the salt marsh. Almost forgot how profoundly calming it can be, even with biting temperatures further sharpened by wind. Let this be the start of a great year of winter photography for southern New Jersey!
