Set Aside Bayside

January 13, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Bayside sunset photo over sand and jetty rock.

Last light and the tide was with me. Which is to say gentle bay waters were low and slow affording me a dry spot otherwise lost to the migrating sea. More often than not I find myself unable to set up shop on this the starboard side of the jetty without getting myself or some gear wet. […]

Indecision

Blue hour photograph of jetty rock shore and Barnegat Bay from Harvey Cedars Sunset Park.

Before making my way to LBIF and the soda kiln firing this past Friday I stopped off at the aptly named Harvey Cedars Sunset Park fishing for a sunset. Shocking, right? Pre-sunset conditions looked great—ample high level cirrus clouds stretched the sky and a subsequent light show seemed inevitable. Mother Nature, of course, is never completely […]

Solemn Shores

August 27, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo with pastel skies and a jetty rock foreground.

One more photograph from August 25, 2016. After making my first frame I periscoped my tripod head right to left from a west to southwest orientation. My reasons were twofold: 1) the high level cirrus clouds were a more impressive pastel color toward the south, and 2) I wanted to get a different angle on […]

Ship Bottom Retreat

August 26, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset photo over the bay of LBI's Sunset Point in Ship Bottom, NJ.

I made my way over to Long Beach Island last night. It was a beautiful evening and considering the calendar’s rude notion that summer is quickly winding down it seemed worthwhile to capitalize on a resource that will soon be in short supply—warmth. Initially I defaulted to my usual LBI summer spot, Surf City Sunset […]

The Pink Purple Blues

October 17, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

Wide angle photograph of ocean jetty rock captured at blue hour

For the first time in weeks, if not months, I made it to the beach today. Conditions were so good I made it to the beach twice today. Continuing with the trend of spectacular light and air quality experienced yesterday, the Atlantic Ocean threw in a cool environmental wrinkle of its own: dead calm seas. […]

The Great Gig in the Sky

May 29, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

World class sunset over the sandy beaches and jetty rock of Long Beach Island

One minute your sitting in the back of a four-door Jeep groovin’ on some tunes en route to the Chicken of the Egg to chow down on some wings, and the next minute your banging an emergency left somewhere in Spray Beach to make a mad dash to the beach for world class cloud ignition […]

Get thee to the beach

December 31, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

An HDR photograph taken on the beaches of Holgate, NJ just after a late winter sunset. Featuring a soft pastel sky with algae laden jetty rock marking the sandy foreground.

Pardon the directive—this title is mostly intended as a self-serving reminder to get my butt to the beach more often. But if you can make it, well then you should too! Living mere miles away I’ll readily admit I don’t capitalize on the natural splendor looming just to the east nearly enough. It’s hard to […]

On matters of motion

October 14, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

In this seascape photograph, Atlantic Ocean tidal waters ebb and flow as seawater races around jetty rock as gravity pulls the water back to the sea

Sometimes you just have to press your shutter and hope. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. With wave action coming in fast I had to be quick on my feet and steady with my hands so as to avoid any kind of camera tragedy of the saltwater kind. All the while operating blind. […]

Watch the spray

October 12, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A blue hour photograph featuring ocean spray bursting behind a lone foreground jetty rock. sending water in all directions

I made it up to the ocean tonight. I’m glad I did. Between the meh clouds and a tide chart noting a low tide coinciding with sunset the decision was pretty easy. I probably don’t photograph the ocean as often as I should—I imagine this has something to do with my not a morning person […]

Safe harbor

September 23, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

An HDR photograph of Barnegat Lighthouse taken from the jetty rock at blue hour overlooking majestic pastel clouds over Barnegat Bay.

As I was taking the seven bracketed exposures for last night’s shot, I was looking back northeast over my right shoulder at the incredible scene happening to my rear. Old Barney awash in blue hour pastels, cast in a soft pink glow. There was too much great light and not enough cameras (in the interest […]
