Wharariki Sunset

This beach has been on my radar for quite a while now. The place is well known in the photography community for its reflections and amazing looking arches islands. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the beach, the sun was high in the sky and I couldn't see any clouds... Not the ideal situation for some good pictures! So I decided to spend a bit of time exploring the beach, looking for interesting compositions. I quite liked this one, with the herbs framing the islands, so I decided to settle there and wait for the conditions to become a bit better. The 60km/h wind gusts gently blasting sand in my eyes... After a while, the sun was low enough to create some nice shadows in the sand and I started to shoot. The picture I prefer of that session is this one, when the sun sets behind the clouds, creating a faded sun burst.
