Blue Too

September 5, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle photograph of an ox bow feature on Cedar Run Dock Road's salt marsh at blue hour. A hint of pink clouds twinkle in the watery reflection.

2021, you win. I am burnt out. The stressors of life are closing in like a vice, and escape seems more an impossibility than some far off thing that will come eventually. I am tapped out and in serious need of a break.

Up at Night

December 12, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle astrophotography image of a star filled night sky captured atop the unique New Jersey Pinelands' pygmy pine trees.

Ben Wurst, Jon Carr, and I made our way to the New Jersey Pinelands’ pygmy pine forest where we tried our best at making astrophotography on a clear, moonless night. The visibility was excellent, and shooting stars dashed the night sky on regular intervals. Honestly, I didn’t even care about the photographs I was making, I was just happy to be out having unexpected fun with friends.

Blue Notes

May 25, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle landscape photo made low key at blue hour. Soft pastels color up the sky above an oxbow lake feature of the Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh.

Nature is love. Love is nature. At blue hour the dance of night and day intwine in splendor to show the whole world how passion yearns. A photograph captures this dance, this light play, this teachable moment, and allows us to share in its glory long after the moment itself.

The Moon Was a Crescent

October 28, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Crescent moonrise over salt marsh at blue hour.

The moon was a crescent, thin and sharp as the blade of a knife. A pale sun rose and set and rose again. Red leaves whispered in the wind. Dark clouds filled the skies and turned to storms. —Bran III, A Dance with Dragons; volume five in A Song of Ice and Fire. Author George R. […]

Tumultuous Sky

Storm photograph of a sunset thunderstorm over Manahawkin Bay with lightning bolt.

Saturday, August 6, 2016, the unexpected came to pass. Mrs. and Mr. Weather NJ came by to scoop me for a little weekend dinner action on Long Beach Island. We brought along the camera equipment just in case the sunset would pop. We were cutting it close on time and originally decided that Cedar Run […]

Land Bridge

April 3, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Long exposure photograph of Great Bay Boulevard's first bridge backlit by lightning.

Friday evening I hitched a ride with Jon Carr and we made our way to Great Bay Boulevard. The hope was twofold: 1) outside shot at a well timed break in the clouds for sunset ignition; and 2) with a segment of thunderstorms approaching from the west, lightning captures were on the table. While neither […]

Moonlight Tonight

Wide angle landscape photograph of a Full Moon over marsh at blue hour

Peering through my driver side mirror at 7:02 a.m., having just crossed the Delaware River—Turnpike Toll Bridge into Pennsylvania ,I saw what I thought would be my best shot of the day. My mirror showed the truth: sunrise was gorgeous, and there I was stuck in my car en route from my home state of […]
