Marsh gone green

June 25, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A wide angle HDR photograph taken during golden hour overlooking a tidal pool and glowing green salt marsh.

Marsh gone green — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

Photographing the salt marsh is not without trade-offs. In winter deep color sunsets rendered almost daily reign supreme; while in summer, the rich awakening of lush green marsh grass tells our eyes all they need to know that summer is here. Each are splendid in their own way.

Tonight was my first night shooting wide angle in what feels like ages, and I haven’t been to Dock Road in I can’t remember how long. Let’s put it this way, last I laid eyes on the marsh it was only showing the slightest hint of nascent green spread thinly over the muted expense. Seeing the rolling green tonight was invigorating. And while I wound up clouded out of a promising sunset, I still captured an enticing glimpse of the marsh imbued with life once again.
