Behind The Lens

Location
The photo was taken in Dartmoor National Park behind the large tor of Haytor Rocks. Devon, SW England.
Time
A 45 minute drive to catch the sunset. After a walk up the hill my friend and I sat to watch the setting sun. after a few landscape only shots my friend decided to do her "signature" pose - an arabesque. With the sun just clipping the curve between her body and leg around 20:25 I took this shot.
Lighting
The aim was to capture the distant hills and valleys with the shadows racing across them as the sun set. The light was changing constantly.
Equipment
The shot was taken with a Canon 7D Mark II with my favourite 17-40mm Canon lens. I used a remote shutter release and the. camera was mounted to a Manfrotto tripod.
Inspiration
This was a popular spot for me to capture sunsets but the first time for my friend; the silhouette of the dance pose and the sun's position in the sky gave me a chance to take that unusual shot.. not preplanned but spontaneous.
Editing
I corrected the white balance and pretty much the rest is out of the camera.
In my camera bag
Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 17-40mm, Canon 70-200mm, Sigma Art 85mm. Spare batteries and remote shutter release.
Feedback
Safety.. rocks can be slippery as the sun descends and the dew starts to form in the cool mountainous air. Always look for that "different" shot - be inspired but don't copy!
