While aerial images can open up a world of possibilities in the hundreds of feet above Marblehead, I’ve really enjoyed using my new Phantom 4 Pro to capture images from just a few feet off the ground but in locations otherwise inaccessible to me before.  For today’s image, I flew from Riverhead beach to these two moored lobster boats in the inner harbor and lucked out when the sun broke through the clouds behind me just as I got into position.

I’ve always wanted to capture images of the working boats in our harbor in this way but previously was limited to a wide view (with boats appearing too small) or a tighter composition (and losing the beautiful backdrop of Marblehead Neck).  Not only was I finally able to capture these two boats as I had hoped, but the incredibly calm water served as a mirror lending reflections on a still harbor for these boats and the houses beyond.
