Ngawi silk drift by

Taken at Ngawi, early start, 3.30am, nearly two hours to get to Ngawi (nar-wee) a commercial fishing settlement located in the Wairarapa, lower North Island. Ngawi

This is a 70 second exposure, when I arrived at Ngawi it was pitch black and blowing like hell, i thought that it was a right off, weather forecast was bad, but, buy the time that I had got ready the moon shone through the racing clouds and lit everything up, this was 6.02am.

Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm Nikkor Lens, Cokin ND4 grad, tripod and sand bags. Active D-Lighting on Norm, ISO 200

About Ken Wright

Hi, Kia Ora from New Zealand, i have recently moved to Papamoa in the Bay of Plenty. I have spent the last thirty years taking photos, I love capturing images, especially ones that only I saw, only I was silly enough to get up at that time to catch the sunrise, photography is a wonderful thing, capture an image and you preserve the moment forever, miss it, and its lost forever.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

    This is among the most beautiful photos that have passed through my activity feed in recent days. The blue of the water is PERFECT!
