Ice World Ignition

February 2, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

Explosive 14mm sunset photo over disused docks and frozen bay water.

Ice, snow, disused docks, and a high power sunset reflecting on frozen bay water bring wintertime drama to Great Bay Boulevard.

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, […]

Never quite the same

February 24, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

HDR photograph of Antoinetta's Restaurant backdropped by a stunning blue hour over frozen bay and shores.

Antoinetta’s Restaurant at the end of Cedar Run Dock Road in West Creek, New Jersey has been a go-to spot for years. Long before I even got into this photo taking thing—and long before Antoinetta’s was a thing—I used to take regular cruises down one of the most relaxing four mile drives in the whole […]

These are the times that revive men’s souls

February 23, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

Intense pastels color the undulating clouds in this spectacular HDR sunset photograph over a frozen Barnegat Bay.

Or maybe it’s just the polar infused westerlies smacking me in the face doing the reviving? It was cold tonight. Anyone stuck in the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast knows this—and has for sometime if you discount yesterday’s false spring. But when it produces this kind of light the biting cold can just keep on riding that […]

You have no power here

February 14, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

An icy handrail makes for an interesting macro shot with the setting sun over the bay off in the distance left of a sharp focused icicle.

I’ve been spending much more time shooting on Long Beach Island of late. It’s the ice in particular that has brought me there. There’s just something to that juxtaposition of Winter’s grip imposing its will on Summer’s paradise. Yesterday brought me to Surf City, Harvey Cedars and Barnegat Light. And while I did most of […]
