Named by Captain James Cook because of the rocks protruding from the point resembling nuggets of gold, Nugget Point is an iconic part of the Catlins coastline.
This shot was taken early-mid morning on a day where thick bands of light rain were working their way through the area more often than we were seeing sun. In fact, when we started the walk from the carpark to the point, you could barely see 50m ahead of you due to the rain coming off the ocean. Luckily as we neared the end we were rewarded with 2 short clearings where the sun shone through and the lighthouse and subsequent nuggets were revealed. This shot was taken during the second of these clearings before it completely packed it in behind us.
An ND6 filter was used to milk out the limited wave activity and create some different textures.
