Carmarthenshire in January 2017

On a calm, sunny (but very cold) January day in 2017, I took out my Phantom 3 drone to capture some of the landscapes in Carmarthenshire. The daylight is at a premium at that time of the year (and so were the drone's batteries, as the cold often means that they expend a lot faster), so I decided to visit 3 beauty spots in Carmarthenshire that were not very far apart. This meant that I could capitalise on the golden hour of light that happens relatively early in the evening at that time of year.

I decided to visit Carreg Cennen early in the morning, for a brisk walk with my father. This meant that I had enough time to recharge the drone's batteries before catching the setting sun later in the afternoon at Dryslwyn Castle and the nearby Paxton's Tower.

This short video contains a combination of the footage captured on that day, and a series of photographs taken with my Nikon D7100 over recent years. The editing process was undertaken with Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
