Before the sun rises. - a photo on Flickriver

The classic location of the boathouse at Pooley Bridge at Ullswater, having got here nice and early I wanted to try something a bit different, this was shot about 45 minutes before the sun came up, this scene was pretty much still black when I shot this so I was working in the dark with just a headtorch, the long exposure (just under 6 minutes) has lit the scene and a flashlight was used for to bring the foreground in several times over the course of the exposure. No filters needed at this time of the day. A little bit of guesswork required with the precise composition but it worked out.
