Chasing the light!
A photographer stands on the edge of the Higger Tor escarpment and the silhouette just reminds me of the phrase "chasing the light". Well I certainly got the light on this occasion as the sun dipped over the western horizon in the Peak District. I was precariously perched on the Kit Kat rocks looking along the escarpment as there was a photography workshop taking up the usual positions for sunset when I arrived there. So I was forced to improvise! These book end shaped rocks normally feature in sunrise shots as they are lit up by the dawn light. You can make out some other photographers on the far ridge near the setting sun.
My tripod was set at a strange angle just to get this shot and I was balancing shakily to utilise the live view on my camera. Good job it wasn't too windy up there. I have posted a portrait view of this scene, but I like this one and the photographer on the ridge helps make it more poignant.
