Description

Fort Nelson was built in the 1860s, as part of a chain of fortifications protecting the great naval harbour of Portsmouth in Hampshire and its Royal Dockyard from a feared French invasion. Covering nearly 19 acres and now fully restored, Fort Nelson sits majestically atop Portdsown Hill, with amazing views of the Solent and the Meon Valley. The Fort stands today as a monument to the skills and ingenuity of Victorian engineering and architecture. Opened in 1995 as home to the Royal Armouries collection of artillery, Fort Nelson has over 350 big guns and historic cannon on display, all part of the National Museum of Arms and Armour. From the Great Turkish Bombard of 1464, that once protected the Dardanelles to Saddam Husseins infamous Supergun and covering every period of history from every corner of the world.

Everything here works really well. Good POV, the leading lines are great and combined with the colours going from cold blue to warm gold I feel really drawn into the shot. I'm not sure I would have felt the same way in 1860, but that's another story... I suppose if I had to moan about something then it is a bit noisy, but that's a problem with the technology and not any fault of yours.
