3/4 on the way to the sea stacks of Motukiekie Beach are beautifully shaped ponds with are full of some water after the tide did go down. These offer beautiful layers to compose your frames.

Photography Tips

Try to create a leading line with the edges of the ponds. At sunset, go for a slight underexposure so you keep the highlights clean in the frame. Shadows can be recovered.
