The cold season draws Long Islanders outdoors to capture comings and goings — of the sun, moon, wildlife, even an intrepid fisherman.

The moments can be fleeting, said Wayne Kiesel of Huntington, who has increased his outdoor photography during the pandemic. “These moments don’t last forever, then the light changes,” he said of his photo of the misty marshes of Crab Meadow in Northport.

His message: Seize the moment.

Nancy Hassel of Babylon agreed, saying she hopes her photo of the sunset over the Great South Bay “inspires people to get out and watch a sunset this year!”
