Once Forgotten

January 14, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset over winter salt marsh.

Once Forgotten — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

Last month revisiting all my photographs for my 2017 best of list I came across this image in Lightroom. Made on the same February 2017 afternoon as “The Observer” I remembered, oh, I meant to post this picture, too. It was post-processed and everything—fully baked and ready to post. For whatever reason it didn’t happen. The back-burner of forgetfulness won the day. It’s a shame, too, as this is a fine shot. Showcasing sparkling sunset colors and an ensnaring reflection. Better still, it’s composed in a portrait orientation. Which is a fancy way of saying vertical. A composition I little utilize and struggle to execute.

Of course this has me wondering what other forgotten gems have I buried away in my backlog cache? A trove of photographs that now measures in the tens of thousands. It’s been my wont no to do much looking back on my work—annual retrospectives aside. So maybe it’s time for something new?

Coda

The irony is not lost on me that on an evening I made a photograph entitled “The Observer” I made the mistake of overlooking another shot.
