Two huge chalk stacks with a red and white striped lighthouse at the end. The setting full moon appears to be balancing on top of the lighthouse. The colour of the sea and sky is a muted blue, almost a denim like colour owing the sun being on the verge of rising.

   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
