Priory dawn...


The skies over southern England were predicted to remain clear overnight, so it was out of bed at 4:00am in preparation for a dawn start at Christchurch harbour, Dorset (image): but the light was short lived. Arriving just as the sun rose over the horizon I immediately started making images. I opted for a telephoto zoon lens for flexibility, but needed to boost ISO settings to get useable shutter speeds for hand-holding the camera.
After half a hours shooting fog rolled in from the southeast, reducing visibility to a hundred metres or so.

70-200 f/2.8 APO Sigma lens. 1/400 second at f/5. +0.33 EV. ISO 640.
