On Dark Matters of Contrast

April 24, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

100mm macro photo of daffodil stems in abstract low key black and white processing.

When I look upon this photo my mind sees the flowing movement of long grasses underwater. Submerged and swaying with the rush of the tide. It’s a balanced fluid motion, a soft rocking back and forth carrying us away to far off places. Relaxing spaces full of soft beds, kind hearts, and unbridled hope.

Yellow daffodil macro photo with soft focus and bokeh.

A daffodil macro photograph capturing the yellow blossom imitating a ballerina’s pirouette. Here we have nature mimicking art, though I suppose it is more correct to note it is art imitating nature.

Daffodil Will

April 15, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Daffodil photos with smooth bokeh and shallow depth of field.

Chilling on the north side of my yard, it’s always my first flower to bloom—a clockwork messenger chiming to the first sounds of spring. A spring it seemed that was on with a vengeance this March. Seeing temperatures readily cracking 60, with several […]

Soft Spot

April 14, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

50mm shallow depth of field photograph of rain soaked daffodils

With the first turn in the weather, the calendar mandates it’s time I get back to my photographic roots. After a toddling period of crash course trial and error in the early days of 2012, flower photography quickly established itself as my go-to comfort spot behind the camera. It’s where I first felt some semblance […]

Spring things

March 21, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A cross processed, grainy macro photograph of a yet unopened daffodil bud. An early sign of Spring.

With weather types talking up the threat of early Spring snow for folks in the northeast, I made sure to document that springlike lifeforms are in fact making their presence known. My front and side yards are both home to daffodils and they never fail to be the first to make the annual flora journey […]
