On February 18, conditions seemed perfect for a beautiful Winter sunset and I left the house just after 4:00 to explore the possibilities. I started off at this familiar spot and made it here just in time as the sun’s angle was spilling golden light on Redd’s Pond. I shot three frames with my camera before heading back to the car to grab the Phantom 4 Pro. It wasn’t long before I found the composition I wanted which showcased the close proximity of Redd’s Pond to Old Burial Hill, Gerry Island, Fort Sewall and Marblehead Neck.
One of my favorite aspects of incorporating aerial photography is the chance to explore Marblehead’s neighborhoods from above and easily see how close they are to each other. It literally affords me a whole new perspective on this beautiful town.
From Redd’s, I made my way across the causeway as the sun dipped lower in the evening sky. As luck would have it, the sunset exceeded all of my expectations. I’ll share that one tomorrow…
