Winter Turn

January 5, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm winter salt marsh photograph at blue hour. Snow and ice dominate the dormant marsh grasses and tide pools as restorative pastels of pink, blue, and purple paint the whole scene.

Feels like an age since I’ve made eyes with a proper winter scene on the salt marsh. Almost forgot how profoundly calming it can be, even with biting temperatures further sharpened by wind. Let this be the start of a great year of winter photography for southern New Jersey!

A Pearl in Winter

January 7, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Snowy sunset photo of Antoinetta's Restaurant and a frozen bay.

Antoinetta’s Waterfront Restaurant. My old stomping grounds. Undoubtedly one of my favorite locations to photograph. It holds sway as an idyllic bayside vista. She’s a fine structure worked in a modern Victorian motif. This joy of design stands tall at the east end of Cedar Run Dock Road. A seaside beauty for sure. Oh, and […]

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 […]

Where do we go from here?

February 14, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Blue hour photograph taken among marsh grass at a frozen Stafford Forge

Tucked in among the lifeless grasses, cloistered from the outside world though hardly sheltered from its inhospitable cold, I made my stand—kneeling. With an icy tripod widened and set to its lowest setting, I was low and I was close to a wee bit of opening—revealing a low level glimpse out to the frozen lake […]

The Cold Will Roll

February 13, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photograph of salt marsh just frozen over

It’s on, New Jersey. True arctic air is rolling across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and with it comes a polar left hook of cold to the jaw of we the lower latitude dwellers. While the bays remain open water for now, the marshes have begun the inescapable transition to pop-up ice world. In the face […]

Fired and Frozen

January 26, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Vertical orientation photograph of an explosive sunset over frozen marsh and phragmites

I avoid vertical orientation photography, and I’m doing myself a disservice. Despite its obvious place and application in landscape photography I remain reluctant to exploit it. Unpacking my reasoning and there’s a few things at play here: 1) I dropped my camera pretty early on and its gyroscope—and thereby level—is useless, rendering level horizons a […]

A Bridge Too Far

January 24, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photograph taken atop a bridge overlooking a frozen marsh a day after Winter Storm Jonas

There would be weather they said. Follow the global models they said. Disregard the NAM they said. The heaviest bands will never push north they said. Well here we are one day after the Blizzard of 2016, and I’m sure many a backs are barking from a long day of digging out after wondering, dude, […]

Perhaps this is Goodbye?

January 21, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photograph of frozen bay ice locking in marina posts

Be it superstition, confirmation bias, or an actual demonstrable trend to which I have neither the data nor scientific awareness to prove, pre-storm sunset skies always seem to deliver. Today sure fit the narrative. Anticipating winter storm Jonas’ arrival has ground my personal perception of time to a relative halt. Since Monday night the hours, […]
