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. […]

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 […]

Growth Phase

Vertical orientation wide angle photograph of well manicured plant life and gazebo at blur hour

Kicking it back to Monday evening, back to Ship Bottom Sunset Point. (That’s two shots in a row!) Only this time I tried my hand with vertical orientation—or portrait orientation—camera work. Unlike run-of-the-mill horizontal orientation, it’s a technique that doesn’t come easy to me; but it’s hard to argue with its intrigue—particularly at wide angles. […]

Parklife

May 25, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Wide angle photograph amid the bushes, plants, and shrubs of Ship Bottom Sunset Point.

Monday night after doing the 9–5 thing I made my way to Ship Bottom Sunset Point. It had been a while since I did some photo things from this Long Beach Island location. It’s a cool little spot nestled bayside, and it holds a tender place in the Greg Molyneux memory bank. For three seasons […]

Fade Out

December 13, 2015 by Greg Molyneux

Blue hour HDR photograph overlooking dune fence and calm baywater

For those of you following my photos on the regular—thank you!—you know I like vibrant, contrasty colors for my landscapes. The more color the better. But in processing last night’s shot (today) I wanted to produce a kinder, gentler final image. A more subtle hand to photograph and capture the calm, soothing blues that crept […]

Some days the sun goes out in style

September 5, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A vibrant HDR sunset taken bayside from Sunset Point in Ship Bottom, New Jersey.

… and leaves us in awe. I’m certainly glad I made it over to Sunset Point in Ship Bottom, New Jersey for what turned out to be some top shelf sunsetting action. There were plenty other revelers to take in the visual mastery, too. Related: I was most pleased to see those in attendance hang […]

All I wanna be is by your side

May 18, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

An HDR photograph taken at sunset from along the jetty at Sunset Point in Ship Bottom, New Jersey. The in water perspective hugs the darkened jetty rock and frames the colored sky and water.

Yesterday I had helping hands (thanks, Jennifer Carr!). I was able to take some chances. While heading over to Sunset Point for The Daily Sundown™ my hope was that the tide would be low enough to expose the bay sand on the lagoon side of the jetty rock (the right of the jetty in the […]

Slow it down

April 22, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A low key long exposure black and white photograph taken over Barnegat Bay from Sunset Point in Ship Bottom, New Jersey. This photograph is marked by dark tones and strong contrast across the horizon.

Tonight was a tease. All signs pointed toward a top notch sunset: rolling storm clouds, a clearing westward cloud deck, and even some small rainbows dancing about the horizon. The ground and houses were awash in a fierce golden light and the anticipation was on. Heh. So much for that. A last minute wall of […]

Getting my feet wet

March 24, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A ground level perspective wide angle photograph of an ocean break during blue hour in Ship Bottom, NJ, on Long Beach Island. Foreground bubbles are left behind the retreating waves.

This all wound up better than expected. First I was hemming and hawing about whether to get out there and shoot; the setup was meh worthy at best, its lone saving grace a distinct color cast from scheduled controlled burns in the area. I packed my car. I looked up one last time. I unpacked […]
