When the Light Doesn't Wait: Lessons from a Chaotic Sunset Session in the Peak District

There’s a particular kind of frustration I’ve learned to respect over twenty years of doing this: you arrive at a location with forty minutes to spare, the light starts doing something extraordinary, and you are in completely the wrong spot.
