Nab Tower

I was out on a very long (18-hour) shoot today in the Solent, off the isle of Wight. The feature was to get stock images for Total Sea Fishing magazine aboard 'Wight Huntress'.

While steaming around we motored very close to the impressive Nab Tower, an anti-submarine instalment from WW1. It's a well-known point for sailors, denoting the deep water entrance to the Solent.

It's an impressive structure even if it does have a bit of a lean - covered in rust and against an azure blue sky it looked great, and although I originally envisioned a mono conversion would suit the detail in the iron work better, in colour it does have a certain impact.
