The Ides of March...

With a clear sky and light winds, I set off before dawn on my mountain bike to photograph the sunrise. To maximise my chances of being in the right place at the right time, I've starting using software that predicts sunrise and sunset times, plus directions, on a global basis (and the same for the Moon and its phases), and it is proving its worth.
The photograph of Bournemouth Pier, Dorset, was shot at 6.27 am - shortly after the sun had broken the horizon.

24-70 mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor. 1/800 second at f/8. +0.33EV compensation. ISO 640
