It was one of those spur of the moment things, when my wife Liz and I decided to go out for a trek up the limestone escarpment at Loggerheads Country Park to watch the sunset over the Clwydians to the west.
When we got to the top we nearly decided to turn round and go back down again, as the breeze was fresh to say the least!
But the view to the west was pretty impressive, with the sun just starting to graze the far slopes, so I set up my camera to shoot this timelapse more in hope than expectation as the wind was buffeting my zoom lens, causing the image in the viewfinder to shake around markedly.
So this isn't the most technically perfect video clip, with a fair bit of twitching going on, but even so it was worth doing to capture such a dramatic sunset and clouds.
