Tolaga Bay Long Exposure Sunrise

Tolaga Bay Long Exposure Sunrise captures the sun just on the horizon, casting warm orange tones across the sky while the sea appears a calm, deep blue. The foreshore sand looks darker in contrast to the bright sky, and the long exposure smooths the motion of the water, creating a serene and painterly effect. The composition emphasizes the natural colours and peaceful atmosphere of this East Coast sunrise.
