Weather for the week is forecast to be grey cloud, with spells of light/ heavy rain, but the early hours of the day are free of such conditions - well, at least today they are - so I'm out with a camera before sunrise. The Met Office prediction is, for once, accurate, and mist is present along the coast, although most of it had burned-off before the image was taken.
I choose to shoot the dawn at Hengistbury Head, Dorset. The area is the site of an Iron Age settlement, and at one time a favourite photographic location. Despite the number of times I've photographed it, I always get something different.
The picture included here, shot at 6.47am today, shows Warren Hill, the plateau that makes up the bulk of the headland.
24-70 mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor. 1/500 second at f/11. -0.33EV compensation. ISO 400. 0.9 grey graduated filter on sky.
Mono conversion in Photoshop CS4.
