1st light on the Matapouri Bay Rocks..

When I got to the beach for the sunrise at Matapouri Bay I was kicking myself that I didn't have my ND filter with me .. but I was quite pleased to get this shot just after sunrise when the first light was catching the seaweed on the rocks and managed to slow the shutter speed down enough to get soft water...
