Hiking to Three Cliffs Bay / Dancing in the Light (Gower Peninsula, South Wales, UK)

Three Cliffs Bay is probably my favourite mini hike on the Gower peninsula. It feels like a hidden island - even though it’s not an island - like some kind of place that time forgot.
It’s an easy hike out (either along the cliffs via Pennard Castle or along the beach), especially if you take a little cheese and wine to enjoy while you take in the view.

Disclaimer/Warning/Apology/Public Service Announcement After publishing this video I learned that Three Cliffs is actually a no fly zone (because there's a small airport nearby). I’d claim ignorance, but perhaps stupidity is more accurate. I did check online but couldn’t find anything - obviously I didn't look hard enough. Also, like a numpty, I assumed that because I’d seen so many other drone films shot there, “it must be ok”. But it's not ok, it's illegal. I hold my hands up and apologise for being such a plum, and dedicate this film to spreading the message that it is dangerous and illegal to fly a drone at Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower peninsula. If caught you could be thrown in prison for up to five years. Don’t do it. And I promise I won’t be doing it again either. So yes, this is my first and last film at Three Cliffs Bay with drone footage (unless I can obtain some kind of permission) - enjoy!

I've just spent the last week in south west Wales and stopped off at the Gower (Rhossili Bay) on the way home today. I can vouch for the breathtaking beauty of this place having seen it with my own eyes. Wales has really captured my heart. The place and people. Amazing work as usual Ben!

Diolch yn fawr Paul! I'm really happy to hear you had such a great time in Wales, and that you felt welcome here. It really is a truly special place. I'm realising more and more that there's nowhere better than the UK for getting outdoors in the summer! BTW, I've followed your YT channel too and will look forward to following your family's journeys! Until next time...

Gorgeous work as always mate. I recently read your ebook from Fuji X Passion and it was great to see those ideas in here.

Hey, gracias hombre!!! Yes, I'm really trying to meditate (figuratively) on the simple things... the feeling you get when enjoying the outdoors. Feeling lucky to have all of this on my doorstep. How is your summer going amigo?

How did you get the mini 2s colors to match up so well with the fuji? Brilliant film btw!

@BenHolbrookWeddingFilms Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks guys. I don't honestly know as colour grading is my biggest weakness. However, I find that applying the same LUT to all of my footage, regardless of what I shot it on, and then tweaking it a little, helps make everything feel more cohesive. Also I think I shot my Fuji footage in Classic Chrome for this film... Might have helped
