Creature From The Deep, Kaka Point, New Zealand

UK & International Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Tuition www.melvinnicholson.co.uk

I was so excited yesterday to come across this gorgeous old tree that was buried in the sand of Kaka Point beach. The sky was dramatic with rain threatening during my time spent setting up the camera.

I chose my composition carefully to have the tree angled in such a way that it looked like a creature was slowly climbing out of the sand. The whole scene really fascinated me and I spent a good hour honing my composition to this point.

The lighting was sublime and the water was just about right to have it rush in and around the tree. It was such a magical place to spend some time and I was told that the tree was positioned high up on the rocks on the shoreline back in January but since the storms recently, the tree moved onto the beach. Knowing this I am not expecting to see this tree in this position when I'll revisit April 2020.
