With Tumbled Locks and Broken Codes

December 22, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

Photograph of broken seashells on a pier at the Crab Island Fish Factory

Let’s shimmy back to summertime, shall we? It’s late December here in the mid-Atlantic and we’re staring a week’s worth of temps in the 60s and 70s. Exactly how Bing Crosby drew it up. With this kind of unseasonable warmth funneling through the region it’s hard not to think back to warmer climes. Of course […]

American Gothic Statuary

November 15, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A photograph of a fiery sunset backlighting the American Gothic display at New Jersey's Grounds for Sculpture. True to the look of the original painting, here the famous farmers are depicted in larger than life cast bronze statuary.

Get thee to the Grounds for Sculpture Cloistered within New Jersey Transit’s Hamilton Station and various nondescript warehouses and factories, resides a 42-acre sculpture garden just waiting for an afternoon of artistic exploration. Seriously New Jersey, this is a great way to spend your waking hours and working dollars. Thoughtfully placed about the property, resides […]

Around that bend is Kewe

October 23, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

Moody light seeps in deep with this brooding low key photograph of a leafy footpath in the Pinelands leading around a bend to here unseen Kewe campsite at the Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation

I took this photograph tonight at scare school. That’s right. Scare school. My awesome friends are getting ready to put on the third annual Zombie Outbreak at the Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation in Brookville, New Jersey, tomorrow (10/24) and Saturday (10/25). We set up a wicked zombie village walkthrough deep in the pines and […]

Go East, my friend

October 7, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

In this HDR Pinelands photograph, early morning rays pierce through the tree line illuminating an eastward path through the pines

Here’s the last of the three shots from Sunday’s photo mission. After our time messing around in the cold, steam rising bog we decided to do a little four-wheelin’. The Pinelands are littered with trails, some maintained better than others, and it’s a great way to spend time with friends. Over the years they’ve mostly […]

A pine for every season

October 6, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

This golden hour photograph features a pine tree branch and its needles in a closeup arrangement with a shallow depth of field illuminated by rich morning light.

Yesterday morning was cold, and yet you wouldn’t know it from this photograph. It never ceases to amaze me, the indiscernible nature of pines. Without their pine cones as a guide or air temperature as an indicator, it’s virtually impossible to distinguish a season on looks alone. While their deciduous cousins are annually betrayed by […]

It’s a secret to everybody

October 5, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

An HDR photograph of a boggy cedar swamp taken in the heart of the Pinelands just after dawn during golden hour

Kudos to Ben Wurst for planting the seed of a Sunday morning sunrise shoot in the pines earlier this week. It takes a lot to get this guy rolling in the pre-dawn hours—especially on weekends. But as tough as it is to get up, it’s always a touch easier if it’s for fishing or for […]

These are for you

October 3, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A low key photograph of a late season pastel colored quick fire hydrangea backdropped by dark tones and smooth bokeh

Friday’s are always better with flowers. At least I think so. With Fall here this is getting to be just about it for flower season. Until next year, little buddies.

Down in it

September 18, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

Taken at sunset, this marsh grass photograph is from a closeup perspective with a shallow depth of field.

I took fifteen shots tonight. This was the first. Taken blind from an outstretched arm dangling inches from the ground. Sometimes it works out that way. Other than purposefully taking this shot wide open it was a crap shoot; a hopeful aim in a general direction—in this case at marsh grass backed-up by the setting […]

A narrower view

September 16, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

Late summer HDR sunset taken over the south marsh of Cedar Run Dock Road.

Just about everything was different with tonight’s shoot. For whatever reason I hopped out of the car, scanned the scene, and decided today would be a good day for shooting with my 40mm. It’s not too often I shoot landscape with my 40mm pancake, and considering today’s results I’d do best to work it into […]
