First Light Held — Tītī Rock at Sunrise, Bayswater (Revised Edit)

A wide-angle long-exposure dawn capture of Tītī Rock from a low reef position at Waiake Beach — the warm tawny reef foreground anchoring the frame, the sandstone islet glowing amber in the post-sunrise light, and a strip of golden horizon connecting the two warm elements across a band of silky, still water. Shot just after sunrise under overcast skies with rain to the east concentrating the atmospheric colour back across the scene. Rangitoto Island rests quietly on the left horizon.
