One thing that I never realised about Milford Sound is the extent to which the tide influences your choice of composition.
The beach here is very flat, and the difference between low and high tide is at least 150 – 200 horizontal meters.
The beach is also littered with dead-tree trunks, grassy patches, and loads of other interesting foreground potential.
The problem is that an interesting composition may lose its appeal within 30 minutes or so… as the water recedes and spoils any chance of a reflective foreground.
As was the case with this foreground… which completely dried up on me within minutes of the sunset!
