Roll It Over

June 24, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sepia landscape photo of storm clouds over the bay.

Monday, June 19, 2017, saw an outbreak of severe thunderstorms fire up across the Mid-Atlantic. Eager as ever to make some photographs, Weather NJ’s, Jonathan Carr and I made way for Surf City Sunset Park. While things looked good at the outset the storms lost steam as they charged their way across New Jersey toward […]

East Watch by the Sea

April 11, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo of pastel clouds over LBI beachfront property.

The Saturday night burn was long and sweet. Like a lasting goodbye to the one we hold most dear. Sunset came, it saw, it conquered. Anxiety fell still to a palette so bright and unmoving it was as though the hands of time ceased to be. Seconds turned to minutes. The minutes, hours. And the hours […]

Fortify

April 10, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Golden sunset photo of sand dune lined with sand fence.

I’m always quick to notice the berm every time I hit the beach. After the sound of the ocean it’s immediately the next thing that calls my attention. It’d be easy to chalk this up to proximity. The berm is the first thing you walk through, but I suspect there’s more to it than that. […]

It Starts My Mind Flowing

April 9, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Explosive sunset photo over rushing Atlantic Ocean wash.

The day broke clear. Northwest winds funneling crisp air across the coastal plain. One last battle in the fight between winter and spring. Unseen as it was. Sleeping late as usual the day made off with a quick start. Catch up after a long night redeeming Hyrule. I bounded about from laundry to bill pay, […]

Clear View

March 29, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Blue hour photo with motion blur over calm bay water.

Life comes in moments. The best are calm, soft, unpredictable moments. Moments where past and future fall quiet before the present. Moments of awareness proving what the relaxed mind can be. A mind free of worry and regret. Free of what was and what may still come. Such a moment hit me looking out over […]

From Stone to Sand

March 26, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Blue hour photo of four small pebbles set upon an empty bay beach.

The wheel of time pays little mind to the trappings of ephemeral life. Its burden is the long game. Tireless at work upon the great mill of the universe grinding all back to the stardust from whence we came. The wheel’s is a blind justice—never to grant favor, never put off its task—the laws of […]

Imprinted

February 27, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo of a lone footprint imprinted on a bay beach.

After making Friday’s sunset photograph I turned my attention to the waterfront and decided to do things a little different. While I kept with my 14mm lens, I did switch from manual focus to autofocus and stopped up from f/8 to f/2.8—the latter being wide open on my wide angle lens. From here I opted […]

False Spring

February 24, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo with colorful clouds along the Long Beach Island bayside.

It’s been warm, folks. Strangely warm for February. Temperatures have ranged in the low- to mid-70s the past two days and it has many wondering if spring is already be upon us. Its tempting to give into the notion with nascent buds and bulbs beginning to show themselves early around much of the Mid-Atlantic. And […]

Keep Swinging

November 5, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset photograph backlights park swings.

Another exposure from last Saturday’s exemplar sunset. At the time of this shoot the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs were midway through a World Series for the ages. Two legacy ball clubs met in the Fall Classic, each seeking to end championship droughts that run so deep the scorched earth of their past seems to […]

Bayside Burn

November 1, 2016 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset photograph of explosive cloud color over Barnegat Bay.

Saturday night and the sky is all right. This weekend I got back on the photo grind and made off into the night with some kind of sunset. Mother Nature threw me a solid and brought out the big guns along the Surf City bayshore. Roughly a dozen sunset dwellers milling about Sunset Park were […]
