The cold spell continues across Dorset, and with high atmospheric pressure and low tides predicted, conditions were conducive for an early start. Leaving the house before dawn, I cycle along the coast to Mudeford Sandspit at the entrance to Christchurch harbour. Photographed from the southern shore shortly after sunrise today, the image shows the Mudeford Run - the narrow entrance to the harbour - that can produce currents up to 9 knots on a spring tide ebb. Had the tide been in, I would not have been able to shoot from where I did.
Yet again, the bike proves its worth by allowing me to get into position with the minimum of fuss. It is fast becoming my favourite photographic gadget.
12-24mm f/4 Nikkor. 1/160 second at f/8. ISO 250. 0.9 neutral density grey grad filter.
