M27 Wreck
10 minute exposure of an old fishing boat wreck at Portsmouth Harbour.
It’s a tough gig to photograph this wreck. A familiar sight to those leaving Portsmouth on the M27 motorway, it’s only 50 metres from the motorway itself. But access is difficult, either go by boat, park on the motorway (!!), or have a pal that found a way to it, thanks Paul!
The wreck itself is great, but surrounded by junk, no matter what angle one chooses its impossible to isolate the wreck. We chose a high spring tide as that would at least give clear water around it, but to the left is a floating crane that ended up a dark blurry mass in the long exposure, so I have taken the liberty of cloning it out.
