HMS Illustrious

Again. She's here until Tuesday. So you all know what that means ;-)

I'm pretty pleased I've resisted the temptation to get the easy shot until now. There's another one from the bow end on flickr.

Both photos have noise. Both have lens flare. I was having a conversation on another forum about the noise in this shot. I really don't care about the noise. It takes nothing away from the image from my point of view. Apparently some people hate it so much that they can't see past it and, as a result, they can't just enjoy the image for what it is - a nice view.

So fire away. Tell me into which camp you belong.
