Break the Cycle

April 10, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

Rain clouds part just after sundown revealing deep blues, pinks, purples and reds in this wide angle HDR sunset photograph taken along the south marsh next to Great Bay Boulevard.

Break the Cycle — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

I’ll try to keep the whining to a minimum lest we call the wambulance. But man! It feels like forever since I’ve managed to catch up with some potent light come sundown. Between life, cloud-outs, a protracted winter and just a whole bunch of bad timing this has to be the longest photo drought in my three plus years of shooting. The last six weeks have been rough, man.

Fighting the temptation to nap it out I opted to roll the dice on the still cloudy skies and head south toward Great Bay Boulevard. This decision paid off in spades. I had parting clouds, low tide with dead calm water and plenty of pretty pastels. Everything was ideal. I was back in my element. Me, my camera and the sky.
