I had never seen or photographed the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth RO8 before the 17th of June 2023. On that day I was onboard the preserved steamship SS Shieldhall cruising around the Royal Naval Dockyard at Portsmouth Hampshire. The 65000 ton Aircraft Carrier was commissioned in 2017 and was the first of two carriers built to the same design: the second being HMS Prince of Wales which was Commissioned in 2019. The image was captured on a Canon EOS 5D MK IV DSLR connected to a Canon EF 24-70 mm Zoom lens. Camera settings were-aperture f7.1, shutter speed 1/2000th of a second, ISO 400, lens focal length 70 mm.
