For those of us that have Daylight Savings Time - Tonight's the night to Spring Forward.

Don't forgot all your cameras too!

In Europe (EU at least) we are not changing to summertime until March 29th. I don't understand why we even switch between winter- and summertime, it could be the same time all year round.

I always hate it in the middle of the summer when the sun doesn't go down until after 9:00 PM. I don't live in a northern latitude.

The only upside for me is that in the spring, it's a little easier getting up to go on a photo outing and be in the field when the sun is coming up.

Well, I've never been one for napping, unless I'm really short on sleep, or sick. I spent most of my working life on an evening shift, not getting home till after midnight. I've adapted to getting up earlier since retirement, but still am not a get up with the sun person.

Yeah, I prefer to have the sun at zenith at noon instead of 1pm.

I've had always worked daylight myself, so I'm spoiled - changing ones internal clock is hard I'm sure. At least you have early purpose now with some of your beautiful sunrise shots (y)

At my home late June there is twilight past 9:30. When I have traveled to the northern end of Wisconsin by Lake Superior there will be daylight past 10pm on DST. I seriously would hate to go to a full-time DST all year as then I would not have sunrise at Christmas until a little past 9am. Just leave us on the original standard time and stop messing with this stuff, DST is an obsolete concept in this age.
