Sunset at Torre di Capo Mannu by Drone | Sardinia

I was wandering along the Sunset coast of Sardinia when I saw it: the Perfect tower, called Torre di Capo Mannu. A tower which could even be climbed!

You can probably not even slightly imagine how excited it made me but I was waiting for this tower for a long time, since mostly you can't climb the towers you find here everywhere along the Sardinian coast. I have always wondered how epic it would be to be on top of the tower at sunset an fly the drone, so I was very very happy with this treasure right here and I knew exactly what kind of shots I wanted to make with my drone. Okay not exactly but at least I had some ideas.

I like shooting my sunset footage very dark so the subjects turn into a silhouette. Getting to know your camera settings is 100% worth it, even if you use a phone or drone

When I saw this tower, immediately knew that it was build for Drone photography! (Okay probably not, drones did not even exist back then) So, I rushed back "home" to my campervan to get my half charged drone and to make it back in time for the sunset. I am kind of new with drones so I needed to figure out the settings before the sun got to low and I hoped that the people would stay away. When there are many people around, it makes me too shy to fly the drone for some reason. I'm such a loser haha. But today was the day. Quiet and the most perfect location! Only the weather was quite windy which is not perfect for the drone but it was not to crazy. Also, balancing on the wall of a tower with the wind (literally living on the edge) while flying a drone isn't perfect but it was doable and so much more than worth it!

I personally like to shoot it dark so the sky turns out quite orange. And the subject (me and the tower in this case) turn out very black. I did edit the video a little bit but the Sunsets here in Sardinia are naturally already amazing. Judge for yourself!

Anyone any advice how to keep the quality up while uploading or should I stick with landscape videos instead of horizontal?
The "pictures above are screenshots from the original video so the quality is lots better there as you can see.

Thanks to ecency Shorts I could upload this video! I'm so glad that it is possible now! I should have tried it out earlier!

Hope you liked my little drone video and some tips and tricks are always welcome! I would like to get better in drone photography :)

Thank you for passing by! Should I upload more drone footage or do you prefer pictures as usual? Let me know!

Regards from Sardinia!
