Here I am at Opanake Beach, South Taranaki... I spent five days in this area over Easter.

This day I travelled from Manaia where we were staying out to Opanake Beach about 25 mins drive..to take photos of the coast line and surrounding beaches, while my partner Warren, and friends went to their 125 year school reunion in Manaia.

Kinda looks like I was flying overhead to get this one, but no I was standing on a cliff edge high above the beach.

Hope you like this lovely surf beach.

Comments and critques always welcome.

Dawn.

Yo!

I love the almost 3-D quality you often capture in your could scenes, Dawn. Nice composition with the headland jutting into the view and breaking up the image quite nicely. The lines of breaking waves are another good feature. Overall, a very pleasant shot!

Hi Dawn,
Great capture of the Opanake Beach with excellent colours and contrast. I like the lovely clouds and how you framed the piecture.
TFS and greetings

Beautiful, Dawn. I've been out to the sea as well this week, and I always love the salty smell of the air, and the bequiting sound of the waves rolling on the beach.
Which you captured quite well here... a pity there's no accompanying sound on TL ;o)). I also like the cloud layer.
TFS.

Very beautiful beach this, and stunning deep blue sky. The colours are great and I like the elevated position, it creates something different. Very nice picture!

Hi Dawn, what a nice pov and a great landscape you show us here. The clouds seem like to be floating. And the human elements give us scale.

I love the composition and the pov. Great colours.

Take care, Yan :)

This is just a SUPER view Dawn. It does have that aerial view look. Very nice shooting point. Excellant compo and the whites in the clouds and crashing waves looks super. Very nice detail thoughout the whole image. This is a true beauty Dawn. TFS! Lyndon
