David Hunt, Into the Morning Fire (SEASCAPE 2026)

At sunrise, a long exposure smooths the water into a reflective calm as the jetty leads the eye toward the horizon. The sky ignites in layers of crimson, violet, and gold, its motion recorded as soft streaks of light above the still sea. The image explores the meeting of structure and flow, capturing the quiet intensity of the day’s first light as it unfolds across water and sky.
