A Woman I Didn't Meet at Castlerigg Stone Circle

She was posing for a companion who was using an old Olympus film SLR camera (I tend to notice that kind of detail). She posed so exuberantly I thought it would be practically a crime against photography not to record the moment myself. I had only a 35mm lens that day, being intent on the landscape, and a telephoto would have been better for this portrait. It is cropped quite heavily to frame the woman to best advantage.

Her flamboyance contrasts well with the pastoral serenity and solid grandeur of the background.

Possibly she was a bit hyper due to an excess of E numbers in her ice cream. In England, pastoral serenity is nearly always accompanied by a diesel-belching ice cream van. Not so much in Scotland, which is curious given their dietary preferences.
