Although the UK changed its clocks to British Summertime yesterday it's a phrase that belies the current climate. Early morning, especially pre-dawn, is still winter-like with the temperature hovering around the 0˚Celsius mark: but let's not let that get in the way of being out early for some first light photography.
Today's image shows the sunrise over Mudeford sandspit, which forms part of the entrance to Christchurch harbour, Dorset, at 6:49 am. I used a x1.4 teleconverter on a 300mm lens and cropped the image for more impact, but it must be said here that it is never safe to view the sun through optical instruments, no matter how weak the orb appears to be.
300mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor +x1.4 TC. 1/250 second at f/8. +0.67 EV. ISO 200.
