The Narnia Chronicles was one of my favourite series of books as a child, so I pursuaded my husband to accompany me on a photoshoot (it wasn't really all that difficult to convince him, he is the most supportive person in the world to me - you rock baby). We set out at 3.30am and drove up to the set (The Dawn Treader itself). I expected to see more photographers trying to catch first light, but it appeared that it was only us. Access to the site was quite restricted, lucky for us it's not so easy to hide a ship the size of the Dawn Treader unless you're David Copperfield, and he hasn't been cast into this movie - yet.
We walked out onto the muddy sand flats, relieved that it was low tide, which availed us the opportunity to get as close as possible from the water.
It was surreal to see a ship of that magnitude apparently floating above the mud and sand.
Once we'd explored all we could see from the beach, we walked back up to as close as we could get to the set.
Once I'd climbed the kids playset, and a few random picnic tables we both started to notice how wonderfully the early suns rays were bouncing off the guilding on the ship.
I hope you enjoy my photos.
