Foggy Morning Reeds

Foggy Morning Reeds is a black-and-white long-exposure photograph taken at Lake Te Koo Utu on a foggy winter morning. The reeds stand reflected in the perfectly still water, while beyond them, the lake disappears into a soft white fog. The composition emphasizes the shapes and lines of the reeds against the minimalistic backdrop, creating a striking, graphic scene.

Lake Te Koo Utu is in the centre of Cambridge, Waikato, a serene freshwater lake surrounded by natural reed beds. In winter, mist and fog often settle over the water, creating a quiet and atmospheric environment that is characteristic of the area’s seasonal climate.
