Tonka against the setting sun

[Mawgan4]

Way back in February, when runway 24 was in use, I went to Marham to try to get a photo of a Tonka against the setting sun. I made two mistakes: I was too late in the year to have the sun aligned with the runway; and just could not get the exposure right. I've used Lightroom to dim the highlights and whites as much as possible, and the sun is still brighter than I would like. But as a one-off experiment, here is the result:

PS: If you're tempted to point the camera towards the sun at this time of year, be VERY careful - it's a lot brighter than you expect!
