Winter has its ways

January 23, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A wide angle HDR photograph of frozen bays and a magnificent sunset at Antoinetta's Restaurant on Cedar Run Dock Road.

Winter has its ways — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 3 Bracketed Exposures

I’ve been privy to a spate of spectacular sunsets of late. While winter typically brings the goods, over the past seven weeks I’ve had this, this, and this happen; each better than the next. You could say the first rule to making good pictures is being there, and nothing has proven more true.

Get out there and freeze your butt off. It’s worth it.
