Respite

December 10, 2022 by Greg Molyneux

14mm blue hour photo of a calm Little Egg Harbor. Using left to right panning to create a smooth motion blur.

What we do when our hobbies teeter on the brink? When the plateau lasts so long the urge to press on becomes as flat and indiscernible as the far off horizon. How do we get our mojo back?

The Line

December 20, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

35mm blue hour photograph with the bay in the foreground and a razor thin strip of Long Beach Island in the background. Panning and a slow shudder brings motion blur into the peaceful, minimalist image.

What do we make of familiar places contradictorily feeling so foreign and so remote? What aspect of psyche brings this duality to bear? It’s like the discomfort in our own shoes writ large onto geography. It is but land. Nothing more; nothing less. So why do we give it so much power?

Peace Where We Can

September 30, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

35mm blue hour photo with motion blur and slow shutter speeds bringing paint brush movement to the shimmering bay water and soothing skies.

It’s been hard to relax these past few years. No one needs me to cite the manifold reasons why. More important is we stay humble and open, and apply ourselves to finding peace wherever we can. This is how we overcome together. So be kind and gentle—and let’s go Yanks!

The Sea Moves

February 13, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle landscape photo of blue hour reflected over Little Egg Harbor bay. Blended with intentional horizontal motion blur.

Let’s explore a photography technique that intentionally introduces motion blur into the finished image. Combine steady hands, confident, steady motion and a lazy shutter to produce stunning minimalist photographs. The effect of motion brings a painterly touch to heighten the drama.

Our Light Fades

December 21, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

35mm photo capturing a golden sunset lighting the calm water of Little Egg Harbor to mark 2019 winter solstice.

The shortest day of the year is here. December 21, 2019, marks the winter solstice. Eager to chase light and document this celestial event, it is not lost on me how nature and the broader world mirror my own darkness. Yet as it it will forever be, light will rise in the east come to chase away darkness.

Golden Glow Before the Snow

February 8, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Golden hour photo lights the sky over calm bay water.

You could say this photograph is the golden calm before the white storm. The spring tease before the winter freeze. Today southern New Jersey danced with the upper 60s but make no mistake—winter is coming. Here in the Mid-Atlantic we find ourselves sandwiched between unseasonably warm air, an arctic air mass, and a boatload of […]

Goodbye Sun

November 6, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Motion blur sunset photo of pastel clouds and calm bay water.

Welcome back to Standard Time!—ugh. If you’ll allow me this moment for an airing of grievances. No fan am I of the cyclical cessation of Daylight Savings Time. Being a veteran on team Not A Morning Person I need to milk as much evening daylight as possible. Were it up to me we’d bask in […]

Southside on the Bayside

May 13, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

HDR sunset photograph of clouds, water, boats, docks and light made from Beach Haven, LBI. overlooking Little Egg Harbor

I’ve got 18.6 miles of opportunity just to my east. It’s time I embrace it. Long Beach Island is a wonderful place—and now that I’ve found purpose by way of camera—I want to connect with my geographic neighbor better. See it in a better light if you’ll excuse me the super cheesy phrase. Particularly I […]
