Another early morning this morning saw me down at the derelict Mentone Pier for a dawn photo shoot. I was blessed with very soft light creeping over the cliff behind me and calm waters (initially), allowing me to capture some nice contrasts between the rotting wooden structure and the glassy water beneath.

After a few days of running around and shooting dawn and dusk at various locations without really getting what I was looking for, it was a relief to feel like I had “it” again this morning! :)
