Feels like the first time

November 7, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

Looking for a dramatic sunset photograph? Here it is, an HDR marsh sunset in all its saturated color glory. Strong shadows and deep contrast are the hallmark of this seascape picture.

Feels like the first time — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

I haven’t been out shooting once since October 26th. October 26th! I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that’s my longest photo-less stretch since I began this whole picture taking fiasco New Year’s Day 2012. This camera cessation was not planned, and suffice it to say I’ve been jonesing.

All day the clouds were spectacular. Low, dark, puffy and fast moving they hinted at the threat of sun-showers all day. Since I was already down in the Great Bay Boulevard area picking up four of my reclaimed wood framed prints from my good buddy Ben Wurst, I knew that’s where I’d head for sunset. Tonight did not disappoint. I’m hard pressed to recall a Fall sky more fierce. The shadow play on the clouds dripping in red scarlet color was really something else. Tonight there were several other revelers out there with me, and that’s always good to see.
