2nd October: Trying to fit it all in!

I like angled shots, so when taking this picture I wanted to fit as much of both ships as I could in the frame, gave me an excuse to tilt the camera.

In the foreground is HMS M33 Monitor class coastal bombardment vessel built for action in WWI 1915 and behind HMS Victory, probably the most famous warship in the world from 1759. This is my 2nd lunchtime visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard this week (well the weather is nice so why not). On Tuesday I took this shot of HMS Victory shrubmonkey.smugmug.com/Photography/2009-One-Picture-a-Da.... I have also taken a shot this year looking the other way from HMS Victory here shrubmonkey.smugmug.com/Photography/2009-One-Picture-a-Da...
