Low Water

The Baltic barely has a tide, which means the shoreline hardly changes from one morning to the next. That sameness is what drew me back. With the land fixed, the only variables are the sky, the wind and whatever the water decides to do with the light.

Every frame here was made within forty minutes of sunrise, most of them between two and four minutes long. At those lengths the waves disappear and the sea turns into a surface that records only brightness. I kept the horizon level and let it move up and down the frame depending on where the interest was that day: in the sky, or in the water.
