Up at 0200 hrs drive to my friends house and depart his place at 0300. 2.5hrs later we arrive just before pre dawn at Portland Bill in Dorset…Later on that day we drove to nearby Weymouth for a walk along the beach and harbour.
O5:57 hrs…Just made it in time. 16×9 aspect ratio.
06:00…Subtle change of light and composition. 3×2 aspect ratio.
Personally I prefer this one because of the foreground rocks and you can see the obelisk thats perched on the edge.

06:21…I have the rising sun at my back.
06:37…Walking further away from the Lighthouse reveals other elements on the Bill.
08:30…If you stand with the Obelisk at your back this is the view towards the Lighthouse.
Huts and boats perched on the Bill.
Going wide with the 14-24mm lens.
Although it looks bright and sunny the wind was brisk and the morning air was quite cold.
Old lighthouse, now a bird observatory.
The side of a building at the bottom of the lighthouse.
Pulpit Rock…At the end of the bill are some short cliffs and large ledges where the sea crashes into the land.
Not a place to fall or slip…However there was no real drama in the sea. Long exposure shot..So so on this occasion.
