My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.

Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.

It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography

@sharongascoigne Nice!!! Love it! Congrats to hubby!
@astronomywriter Thank you. I can't tell you how elated he was to finally cross it off his photography wish list! He still thinks he can improve on it so I think the mission continues!

@sharongascoigne LOL I wish him well, but remind him that art is never finished, only abandoned.

All art is flawed because the artist will never achieve perfection. (No harm in trying though)

@astronomywriter That's precisely what motivates him to get out with the camera. In fact he's always got it with him, wherever we go 😅
