Monday Motivator – Reflected Glory

Ahipara – Southern End of Ninety Mile Beach

Often when you step out onto a beach or stretch of coastline in the early hours of the pre-dawn you have to make quick decisions about what you might hope to capture in terms of a photograph as you can be steered away in a certain direction which may or may not work at the expense of another opportunity. The magic light which exists in these moments passes by very quickly.

I will always remember stepping out onto this most southerly end of Ninety Mile Beach and immediately seeing the amazing reflections of the sky and clouds which seemed to stretch on forever up the coastline. I made a quick decesion to focus on these and set about capturing this photograph.
