Cramond Beach, Edinburgh.
Sun set, image from the Mavic Mini 4 Pro drone, 50m above sea level. A manual panorama image (2 images stitched together in LR). Looking north west (sun), fading golden light, and to the east, a beautiful dark blue tone.
I decided to make a video and take some sunset images at Cramond Beach on the outskirts of Edinburgh yesterday evening. Sun set was at 2105hrs. I posted a video on my YouTube channel this morning which was edited early morning. This week has been brilliant for sunsets as there has been a high pressure for several days in Scotland. I have been out in the evening chasing sunsets, and did not really get one from my camera or drone, due to faffing around, but yesterday the destination was perfect.
I got to the car park at Cramond around 1930hrs, to give me time to explore the area, and see how the light was. I wondered around for 30 minutes getting a bit anxious, getting the drone into the air, as there was a lot of people there on the beach, and the paths. I was just going to go back without any video or images, because I was thinking I was not confident with myself in general, and what people would think about this old guy with his drone. I decided to just go for it, and be safe flying it around. Sometimes I will be nervous, and times I have no issues flying the drone. I love the early mornings to be fair in the summer months, as there can be no one around, so with this thought, I will get a sunrise here in the next month or so (It’s in my diary right now).
As the light was fading there were beautiful colours in the sky, Crammond Island, and the sand. The sand had magnificent colours and lines as the tide started slowly coming in, At the time of sun setting, there was still a lot of people going to and from Crammond Island, along the walkways sea defence.
You can really feel the energy and calmness as the sun sets. It brings new opportunities in life and with nature.
The planet is a beautiful place, and seeing sunsets are one of my best experiences with nature, just watching the colours, textures and the temperature change, as I watch the sun disappear into the horizon.
