Kenworth Sunset Dec 2014 093 The moon made an appearance as well

            For anyone who doesn't like Kenworths or American Trucks then this photo, one of fifty, won't be your thing. The man who owns it loves them so I'm uploading (half of) them to add to the album with his motor in it. 
Neil wanted to do a sunset shoot and asked me if I was doing anything in the afternoon - a leading question if ever there was one. Always up for a challenge but knowing that the light could be brief, difficult to manage or non existent if cloud from the West appeared, I said I was up for it. I used TPE to work out where the sun would be, at what time and for how long. I decided that Wessenden  Head would be OK, it's near and, crucially, he can get the KW there without difficulty. A cruise ship has a smaller turning circle.
I needed to be up there for 3.00 PM as the sun would be gone by 3.45. Being in the east the sun vanishes behind the Pennines to the west very early which is why we headed high and towards the Pennine watershed in the west.
All in all, I'm quite pleased with what I got. There was quite a bit of work to balance the light but nothing exceptional.
