Location
This was captured just outside one of the large power station construction sites in South Africa. I was just outside the gate and happened to look back and see the sun setting between the two cranes. The right place at the right timeTime
Late afternoon at about 18:00Lighting
The lighting was as you see it in the photo. I balanced the camera on my vehicle to get it as steady as possible and took the shotEquipment
Camera - Nikon D5200 with a 200mm lens F/5.6 Exposure 1/320sec and ISO400. I used my vehicle for stabilization.Inspiration
The position of the sun in relation the cranes just added a bit of serenity to the busy construction site. It appeared to me as though in that moment of time the cranes were helping the sun to setEditing

Camera body - now D5300, 24 - 70 Tamron, 50mm Nikon, 18 - 55m Nikon, Speed light and triggers.Feedback
Always look behind and around you for that shot. There is not much time to take the shot so use whatever is around you to support your equipment, there will be no time to set up a tripod. Savor the moment
