Sunset Photography in The Peak District

This was a good week. The weather has been wonderful and on Tuesday evening, I managed to get out to shoot the sunset. Whilst it wasn’t quite as spectacular as I had hoped for later in the evening, there was a wonderful haze to the light. If you want to see what happened later on, I posted this shot on my Instagram feed.

Here’s a shot I took with a long lens, cropping into a distant area where the sun was casting shadows on the fields.

This was taken using the Fuji XT5 with the Fuji 55-200 lens at 165mm. I had the camera mounted on a tripod for a 1/35” exposure at f/11.0 and ISO125. The conditions were extremely contrasty, and I could barely see what I was doing. Fortunately, I shot a few which seemed to have come out well, especially because it was very windy.
