A lovely afternoon spent walking along the beach at Porth Dafarch on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, just off th North Wales coast, culminated in my wife Liz and I enjoying a dramatic sunset out over the Irish Sea to the southwest.
Of course, I was filming the lightshow, using two cameras.
My Canon EOS 6DMK2 was set to shoot still images to create time lapse videos of the wider view, while my Canon EOS 250D was had a long 400mm zoom lens fitted with a mylar sun filter to shoot 4K video of the sun, complete with sunspots and clouds passing in front of the glowing orb.
This time lapse clip is a speeded up version of that original 4K video, which, although nice enough, is a bit tedious to watch.
The actual real time video was nearly six minutes long, with this 'time lapse' at 30 seconds duration edited to run at 12x in Adobe Premiere Pro.
