Last night I ventured out with a good friend to shoot Froggatt Edge in the Peak District. In all honesty, I never have any luck shooting sunsets in the Peak District. Typically, the cloud will close in at the last minute and the sunset is lost.
But this friend seems to be one of the luckiest photographers I know. Every time he goes out with a camera he has good light. And last night was no exception as you can see from the image. We were treated to a truly spectacular sunset. It was also refreshing to see a group of youngsters sat on top of the rocks on the right. They had driven over to the area and walked up on the edge just to sit and watch the sunset.
I hope you like the photo and have an equally spectacular weekend.

One of your best photographs ever! Sky is exploding, colors are awesome.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you.
Lovely image Robin, sounds like you need to hang out with your friend more often.
I am a little confused though. Your text says it was shot last night, but the photo info is the D800, which I thought you had sold. Did you reacquire one and I missed the entry?
Yes, I did sell the D800. I didn’t say this was taken using my D800, but I’m going to keep you guessing for a reason that will become clear in a little while.
Really nice sunset with some human figures as small features to add scale and interest.
Thanks. I was quite pleased with the figures. I also did some long lens shots of them that worked well.
Nice image robin but not so lightweight photography, I remember the lx5 article I joined your site for and marvelled at the results the little lx5 could produce, for such a small camera but I suppose D800 is small compared to d4 etc with large 2.8 glass 👌
Thanks. And as I replied to someone else, I didn’t say this was my camera. My main camera is a Fuji XT2.
I wonder who your good friend is Robin, he must be a great photographer.
Some say he is 😉
Ha! My initial reaction (apart from ‘great image’) was why did you choose a D800 over the XT-2? Having read the comments above I’m awaiting your teasing answer.
Thanks Steve. You have to work with what you have to hand and if that’s a dreaded D800 because the X-T2 is at home then so be it. I may have more to say on this in the future.
Great post thank youu
