My main motivation for going to Wakapuaka Cemetery was for the autumn trees during golden hour, in April.

I got those, but after the sun was gone, I found the highest vantage point I could, set the tripod up, put on an ND filter, and let the slow shutter take it all in.

Sometimes the image you didn't plan for is the one worth staying for.
