On a recent Sunday, I decided to head out and capture aerial images of Marblehead’s ponds. One of my first stops was at this familiar one where I found model boats sailing on Redd’s pond. As the guys maneuvered their boats using remote controls to control the sails, I piloted my aerial drone overhead and found this composition.
I tried to find a perfect spot from which I could capture the action on Redd’s pond as well as the vibrant trees and red house across the water. At the same time, I was hoping to catch a mirrored image of the sailboats in Marblehead Harbor seen just over Old Burial Hill. As luck would have it, there was some sailing going on there as well and I came away with this final image of sailing on Redd’s pond.
