As Dawn Begins
Warn limestone blocks in the North Bay at Kaikoura on New Zealand’s South Island, carved smooth by the sea.
i shot this just as the dawn started, its very very calm, or so it seam, a wave had crashed in and rushed back, this is a 25 second exposure, chek out the gull on the rock to the right, it didn’t move!
Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm Nikkor Lens, ND 4 soft Grad, tripod with weighted bags.
Check out other images of these rocks from my last trip, more to come from here.

Going well, thanks, just getting nervous about addressing 100-150 people, the gallery had most of the canvases hung, getting close now.

Fantastic work Ken, what a great structure, a lovely photography subject. The blues that have been used really give it that cool feel that works much better with these blocks.

Ken, this is absolutely incredible!! I saw it in my monitor, wow! The light is so tranquil and the swirl of water with the star rocks underneath make it to look like a picture from space! Not many time before I wanted to favourite the picture so much and now I want to keep looking at it! Just fantastic!
