Location
I took it in Santiago, ChileTime
It was late afternoon, the sun was already setting just behind the hill, where-over the chopper is flying.Lighting
Obviously, I took the advantage of the bright sunset behind the hill, setting the sky in an intense yellow-orange light and turning all the other subjects into black silhouettes, like the Maria statue on the top. The helicopter flew many times to the hill to drop loads of water on the raging fire.Equipment
I used my Nikon D800e and a Tamron 28-300 mm lens.Inspiration
The fire on the hill and the bright intens colors with the magnificent black silhouette of the helicopter.Editing
Not much: a bit of intensifying the yellow colors and blackness of the silhouettes.In my camera bag

Keep your eyes open and your camera always within reach. Some moments can only be shot with good equipment and a professional eye.
