Open Edition Fine Art Print
Captured at Tōtaranui in Abel Tasman National Park, this image was taken while I was waiting for the blood moon to rise. As I set up along the shoreline, a yacht appeared in the distance and slowly moved across the water. I jokingly said to my wife how incredible it would be if it anchored directly in front of the rising moon — and it did, creating this precise alignment.
The composition brings together the yacht, the rising moon, and the calm evening sea in a single vertical frame. Deep blues and purples from the fading light contrast with the warm glow of the moon as it lifts above the horizon, while the vessel becomes a strong focal point against the open water.
It is a rare moment where timing, place, and light came together naturally along the coast.
