Good spotting – was the effect of having a polarising filter on and angles to the light. A good example of potentially when not to use one. One of my favourite beaches. Cheers.
Nice. Ive made the South Island twice, but never got to that area. We did almost get there the year before last, but was unlucky enough to be caught by the biggest storm of the year, narrowly getting out before road closures. So much amazing scenery down south!

Loving this photo 🙂
Did you keep the exposure consistent? Seems that the area around the right has a different exposure— but still. It looks like a very beautiful place!!
