Some photos come easy , some not so much.. Nugget point is a spectacular area with a great lighthouse but its quite out of the way

I spent a long weekend camping close by and visiting every morning and evening sat on a cliff edge waiting for good light, wind, rain, 200m drop just to my right

Glad to say this time it paid off!

Also got the Orange/Teal thing going on, you'll see this is a classic colour scheme even on hollywood movie posters..
@Rjdlandscapes stunning! Well worth the effort, I'd say!
@Rjdlandscapes What a view! How many trips to that spot did it take to get this shot that weekend?
@aligorith this was my 5th , worth it tho haha
@Rjdlandscapes @damiansixx_ Patience is the hardest thing for me
@amay206 @damiansixx_ yeah often you get just the one session/shot at a location before you have to move on, some places I am lucky to get to shoot regularly which is awesome, some places like this your best planning extra time
@Rjdlandscapes @damiansixx_ itโ€™s a gamble, in my head Iโ€™m always thinking of what I could be missing out on by not moving on and how the current location might not pan out. Itโ€™s a struggle to say the least.

@amay206 @damiansixx_ Yep always a question, helps if you can judge conditions right, and if you have a few locations in the same area you can get too, the quality of light changes a lot through golden hour so your best having a few compositions lined up and shifting

For this spot I really wanted this kind of shot so I camped it hard

@Rjdlandscapes wow! Your patience and effort really paid off. This is a a gorgeous shot! Now I need to figure out where Nugget Point is, ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Rjdlandscapes oh neat. Iโ€™ve never been to New Zealand, so appreciate the help in locating it. Looks beautiful!
@SmallTownGirl Its a great spot if a bit out of the way!
@Rjdlandscapes sometimes the best spots are the ones that need some effort to get to. Thereโ€™s generally less people and a great sense of accomplishment for having gotten there.
@Rjdlandscapes Beautiful, worth the effort.
@Rjdlandscapes beautiful photography. Thank you for sharing.
@Rjdlandscapes this right here is why I put "snapshots" and not "photography" in my watermark
@Rjdlandscapes
The beauty of that is almost surreal... wow... seeing things in a different way. I love it ๐Ÿคฉ
@DolphinDemVoter thanks! One reason I love long exposures is its a little side step from reality
@Rjdlandscapes Tremendous shot! Worth it! Thank you for sharing
@Rjdlandscapes holy smokes ๐Ÿ˜ not bad, not bad at all ๐Ÿ˜‚
@Rjdlandscapes Extraordinary photo ๐Ÿ’™

@Rjdlandscapes

Posterise this.

@WendyMsGator it gets printed now and then, its also on a postcard here somewhere!
@Rjdlandscapes
It certainly did pay off, my friend. Thanks for your patience.
@Rjdlandscapes beautiful. Thx for sharing
@Rjdlandscapes It certainly did payoff, that is a spectacular photo.
@Rjdlandscapes @damiansixx_ gorgeous image! I can appreciate that. Some songs come to me fully formed in the time it takes to sing them. Others I seem to have to fight for every new line. The creative process can be mysterious.
@Rjdlandscapes Gorgeous pic with an amazing perspective. Thank you for sharing it with us.
@Rjdlandscapes Spectacular shot! Love the colors! Especially the blue waves on the right.
