Sunrise Over Sea

Sunrise Over Sea is a long-exposure photograph taken at Makorori Beach during sunrise. The image focuses on the texture of the waves as they curl over toward the shore, with the longer exposure softening the water while retaining subtle motion in the crests. The composition highlights the patterns created by the moving sea under early morning light.

Makorori Beach, located near Gisborne on New Zealand’s East Coast, is known for its wide sands and early morning sunrises. The beach provides views of the Pacific Ocean where wave patterns and surf conditions vary, creating distinctive coastal scenes.
