With the warmest weather of the year forecast for the UK this weekend it's up at 3am again, in preparation for the early light; the skies are meant to be clear at dawn. The prediction is spot-on, and the sun breaks the horizon roughly east northeast at 5:11am, over Christchurch harbour, Dorset.
My primary aim was to photograph swans as they fly off to their feeding grounds for the day, but they are not co-operating. It's as if they know I'm well equiped, lens wise. For nearly two hours I watch and photograph gulls squabbling over catches, and fishermen leaving for a days fishing...but no flying swans.
300mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/800 second at f/5.6. +0.67 EV. ISO 400.
