Light Play

May 14, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Japanese maple leaves photographed in golden hour light with shallow depth of field producing bokeh.

February 11, 2018 by Greg Molyneux

Withered Japanese maple leaf macro black and white photograph.

Black and white abstract macro photograph of a Japanese Maple that looks like a flying dragon

I’m a Game of Thrones fan. I’m a macro fan. I’m a black and white fan. So for my money here goes the trifecta. I know many folks appreciate my wide angle landscapes—the sweeping shots of the dramatic sunsets that readily pop-up along the Jersey shore. Those are great, and I love getting out there […]
