Castle Point is a lovely small fishing village on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.
I ventured out that morning, hoping for a perfect sunrise. It was my only chance at this location on a 12-day road trip.
Having already scouted the area for compositions the day before, I made my way past the lighthouse and set myself up in the dark, still unsure of what the horizon might offer at sunrise.
As the blue hour began, I started clicking away, adjusting my settings while trying to find the right balance for light and the gusty wind that swept through the scene.
I quickly realised that the thick clouds in the east meant no colour in the sky, but I happily settled for this shot.
