Colorful Ocean Rocks and Islands Awaiting the Sun

These simple rocks taught me a lot, as I walked down almost every morning for about a month to put up my tripod and photograph them, exploring nuances of light and technique.

This moment was about a half hour before the sun rose, and the long exposure needed at that time in the morning resulted in the ocean swells smoothing out. The moon was behind me, lighting up the rocks a bit to give then color and depth.

There is something very soothing at just looking at this image for a while, as it transports us into a peaceful place.
