Ocean Grove sunrise swim — first light on the shoreline. A swimmer steps out of the surf while a seabird skims the water. Soft gold and lavender show the handover from night to day.

Some mornings are routine; others reset the mind. Salt on the skin, sand underfoot, and the pull of the sea give attention something simple to follow. In moments like this, mindfulness is movement — a small ritual that quietly sets the tone for the day.

Ocean Grove sunrise swim — Technique

Photographed just after sunrise to keep highlights gentle and colour natural. Exposure protected the bright sky while keeping the subject readable. A fast shutter (1/500 sec) stopped the shore-break and the bird; f/8 held both foreground and horizon. Edits were light — a touch to highlights and shadows to keep it true.
