'Looking Out, Listening In' - III

            This shot of GCHQ communications station at Bude, Cornwall, has taken a long time to achieve and a lot of planning and organization. Firstly, permission needed to be sought to photograph at the station perimeter at night and then the images needed to be security vetted and approved for publication. I STRONGLY ADVISE that you do not photograph near the perimeter at night without the knowledge and permission of the station security.
It is a composite of sky and foreground all taken on the same night within 300m of the base perimeter. The sky was a stack of 8 images with a Samyang 14mm and the foreground are taken with a Canon 50mm 1.8 STM.  The blending of the two images took some considerable time. 
The image may be used during the GCHQ Centenary Year celebrations.
