Yesterday afternoon offered picture perfect conditions for aerial imagery of Marblehead Neck and I was fortunate to have taken the day off from work to capture the views. I watched as the clouds filled in and then broke apart in the early morning hours and left the house a little after 11:00am to explore the possible images.
I stopped at Desmoulin Lane at first and flew off shore but quickly decided that the clouds favored compositions from Castle Rock. I drove there and flew again to find this incredible view of Marblehead Neck laid out before me.
I doubt that a small screen will do this image any justice as the photo you see is a panorama made up of two rows of 14 images. The end result would look amazing as an 8 foot by 2 foot print on a wall rather than on a 4″ screen. As it is, I had to crop out Childrens Island from the image you see today as the full size would not have translated at all.
Hopefully, the feeling of flying a few hundred feet over Marblehead Neck on a perfect Summer day comes across in this image regardless of the screen you view it on.
WOW!
WOW!!! Another new and totally different view of Marblehead. My first impression was “the Neck looks like a whale’s tail” and when I enlarged it, I saw a seagull flying toward town. Amazing images! Thanks again, Eyal. You bring me home each Wedsneday and I love it.
That’s a really unique vantage point!
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
Whales Tale!
Interesting. Didn’t notice that at first.
Beautiful pictures by the way! Great talent!
