Kings Beach: early morning

I was up early this morning–around 4.30 am. I uploaded a photograph for the sea abstraction book that I’m working on, then went out to make some studies for a large format shoot. I was on location at the rocks at the end of Kings Beach Rd by 6am. It was a brilliant morning.

I had around 2 minutes to work in before the shadows disappeared from the shoreline and the scene went flat. I also had about an hour or so to do photography as the coolness of the morning and the slight sea breeze were to be replaced by a hot north wind and temperatures in the high 30’s.
