Sand to Snow

January 5, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo over frozen Barnegat Bay in Harvey Cedars, NJ.

Harvey Cedars locked in ice. A beach paradise locked and bound in frozen bonds of wind driven snow, ice and unstoppable cold. The arctic has found its way south and wrought with it a landscape better tuned to penguins. Trudging through Harvey Cedars Sunset Park I felt myself alternating discomfort and awe. Foremost was the […]

Clear View

March 29, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Blue hour photo with motion blur over calm bay water.

Life comes in moments. The best are calm, soft, unpredictable moments. Moments where past and future fall quiet before the present. Moments of awareness proving what the relaxed mind can be. A mind free of worry and regret. Free of what was and what may still come. Such a moment hit me looking out over […]

From Stone to Sand

March 26, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Blue hour photo of four small pebbles set upon an empty bay beach.

The wheel of time pays little mind to the trappings of ephemeral life. Its burden is the long game. Tireless at work upon the great mill of the universe grinding all back to the stardust from whence we came. The wheel’s is a blind justice—never to grant favor, never put off its task—the laws of […]

Momentary Lapse

November 16, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo of a rising supermoon over gentle waves of Barnegat Bay.

Two moon shots in a row? If you’ve been following my work for any length of time you know moon/night photography isn’t an all too common occurrence in this house. It’s not that I don’t love me some moon, it’s just that I lack the requisite gear to make some hay in this department. Long […]

Bayside Burn

November 1, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset photograph of explosive cloud color over Barnegat Bay.

Saturday night and the sky is all right. This weekend I got back on the photo grind and made off into the night with some kind of sunset. Mother Nature threw me a solid and brought out the big guns along the Surf City bayshore. Roughly a dozen sunset dwellers milling about Sunset Park were […]

Light Up The Senses

June 17, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Vertical orientation sunset photograph of dramatic skies and rich pastels over Barnegat Bay.

Here it is—photo number 4 from Sunday, June 5, 2016. Real life has negated any and all attempts at photography the past week or so leaving me desperate to go to the well once more. At least its a deep well. A fresh well full of cold, clean water. Sustenance of the highest order—figuratively speaking […]

Center Mass

June 11, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photograph from Surf City Sunset Park gazebo with sunlight casting a strong orange glow.

More Sunday action, people. One more to go and then I can finally move on from last week. As far as the sequence of shots goes, this was the first photo made. Before the rainbow and before the sunset I first posted. Rain was just starting to fall and I was enthralled by the orange […]

The Home Fire Still Burns

June 8, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photograph of dramatic clouds painted in fiery pastels left behind after storms rolled through Long Beach Island.

Sunday began what is now day four in a stretch featuring potent storms, dramatic clouds, and fiery sunsets. While I’ve been tied down and largely unable to shoot, it’s been impossible to miss what has to be the best consecutive stretch of sky goodness in recent memory. New Jersey based social media accounts have been […]

Disrupt

April 27, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Wide angle photograph of an ominous shelf cloud storming over Barnegat Bay en route to Long Beach Island

Wild weather bore down on Surf City’s Sunset Park yesterday afternoon. I was fortunate enough to be out storm chasing with JC of Weather NJ fame, and we set up shop on a favorite Long Beach Island bay beach. With a dead west exposure over Barnegat Bay, winds were already ripping from the same direction, […]

I, Phragmites

April 15, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Shallow depth of field sunset photograph of phragmites along Barnegat Bay

Phragmites are an invasive species robbing valuable real estate from indigenous plant life due to the dense stands that’ll readily form and quickly grow. Efficiently conquering pristine lands like an imperialist in heat. To the uninitiated conquistador like me, they seemingly fit right in to the natural surroundings—adding almost picturesque sight lines that appear to […]
