The sunrise wasn’t perfect. I would have preferred a few extra clouds to make the time-lapse more dynamic but the calm ocean and vivid blues and oranges have a beauty of their own.
I was the only person on the beach as I began shooting about 45 minutes before sunrise. As light started to overtake the darkness more and more people arrived to take in the first sunrise of the new decade. An especially adventurous couple even ran, screaming, into the cool water as the sun peeked above the horizon.
I couldn’t help but look around at the people gathering and wonder what they were thinking about. What wishes and hopes and dreams did they have for the coming year?
Whatever they are, I hope they all get what they wish for. And I hope you get what you wish for too.
