I’ve captured the small boat in First Harbor with its Christmas trees from many angles and in varying light but as soon as I purchased my drone, I knew of one angle that I couldn’t wait to try.  In mid-December, I launched the Phantom 4 Pro near the Marblehead Lobster Company and took it to its limit of 400 feet before aiming the camera straight down on this grouping of boats.  With the light having faded, the small Christmas tree stood out among the boats floating in darkness.  I used my car’s headlights to help light up the scene.

*This image was taken before I received my unmanned pilot certificate.  I have since learned that flying after dark requires additional lighting than what comes with the stock drone.
