Location
Wharariki Beach at the top of the South Island of New ZealandTime
Sunrise in AprilLighting
First light as the sun just started to lift over the horizon.Equipment
This was shot with Nikon D810 , 24-70mm on a tripodInspiration
The reflection of the sky on the wet sand after the surge from the surf retreated was just awesomeEditing
The white balanced was warmed up as auto had the image way too cool. I lifted the shadows to give more detail to the stacks Then used a grad filter darken the top and bottom of the image so the your eye was drawn to the stacks. Then finally cropped 16 :9 to get a horizon in the center of the image.In my camera bag
Nikon D810 and the nikon trinity 14-24 24-70 70-200 with Nisi cpl and nd filters and adaptors.Feedback
The Wharariki beach stacks are a long way from anywhere so be prepared to stay overnight to get the best light
