On my first early morning photoshoot I went straight back to St Marys Bay. Back in 2013 I captured Auckland Skyline at Dusk and it is still one of my favourite’s of the city. So going back in the morning seemed like the right thing to try. Unfortunately I hadn’t taken the time to look up the tides. The tide was out and the beach was very muddy. It was dark, I was on my own and not wanting to get myself or my tripod stuck in the sand as the tide came in I chose to look for a new view. Walking along the Westhaven Pier. Specifically towards VWXY Piers there was a nice row of trees. I walked up and down a couple of times looking for a good opening that framed the Auckland Skytower and skyline. Thankfully I had my larger, taller tripod so I could get the camera where I could capture the full reflection of the Skytower. In the foreground is the Westhaven Marina with the city lights behind as the sun started to raise up to the left of the photograph.
