Rangitoto @ Dawn

    Newer Older

    I got up at 5:30 this morning, which for me is completely ridiculous. We've been getting foggy mornings recently, so I made sure things were clear before I left. As I drove over the harbour bridge, it got foggy as hell and I thought the early rise was going to be a waste of time.

    After I stopped swearing I decided to carry on anyway and see if I could salvage something. Luckily as I got closer to the beach the fog cleared and I managed to get a few decent shots.

    This was taken with my 10-stop ND filter with an exposure time of 35 seconds.

      Chris, is that a boat on the left hand side near the shore? Is that a light house behind it? Wow.

      yeah it is a boat out on the water - thankfully it kept still for the long exposure! Not sure if that's a lighthouse on the island or not... I don't think so.

      Spectacular. Rangitoto is so iconic, and your photo really shows it! I should be seeing it again before a week is out!
