The Isle of Wight Introduction

The Isle of Wight is the largest island in England. It is very close to the English Channel, and it is separated from mainland Great Britain. The island has been popular for holiday destinations since Victorian times. The island has a maritime and industrial tradition including boat building,  the world’s first hovercraft, and the testing and development of Britain’s space rockets. The island has well-conserved wildlife and some of the richest cliffs and quarries for dinosaur fossils in the EU.

The Isle of Wight Trip

Just relax, it is in no way attempting to reach the calibre of the excellent recent articles on the island. Just imagine it as filler or a break from the technical stuff with some views that are merely intended to bring a place to you and to encourage photo shooting lovers to go out shooting.  A beautiful little island on the south coast of England, replete with history, geography and nature, there is something for almost everyone here. People may fortunate enough to be invited on a road trip with some folks to the Isle of Wight.

If you stayed overnight at those small hotels nearby the sea, you could take wonderful photo views by zoom lens, or the tiny Olympus 60mm F/2.8. It is super sharp and fast to focus, especially as one squirrel was content for me to get pretty close.  The United Kingdom, and on its very doorstep can be found a place of plentiful natural beauty and history, a great place for a fun road trip. The Isle of Wight is a charming reminder that photo shooting players don’t always need to travel to the exotic ends of the Earth to have a great time.

It makes me feel excellent to bring with a small shot of whiskey when watching the sea. The Osborne House should certainly impress you. A former rural retreat for Queen Victoria and the place of her death in January 1901, the interior opulence of the mansion is matched only by the scale and splendour of the exterior grounds, including a private beach and a museum for her grandchildren.
