First Light, Narooma
The morning began with cold air and quiet nerves. I woke long before sunrise, unsure whether the tides would cooperate or force me to retreat. Still, I made my way through the darkness to Narooma’s Glasshouse Rocks—an ancient, sculptural stretch of coastline where time and tide converge.
When I arrived, the tide had drawn back—just enough. I moved quickly, knowing the ocean wouldn’t wait. In those fleeting minutes before the waves reclaimed the beach, the sun broke through the horizon. Its golden light spilled between the towering sea stacks, radiating in starburst form and casting long, cinematic shadows across the sand.
This image is a 12-frame panorama, stitched with care to preserve the expanse of the moment—from the layered drama of the sky to the intricate textures of rock and sea. The moody cloud cover only heightened the contrast, making the first light feel all the more sacred.
First Light, Narooma is a tribute to persistence and presence. Shot at the iconic Glasshouse Rocks, it captures the raw beauty of this timeless location—a moment where fortune favoured the prepared, and nature delivered something quietly unforgettable.
