This isn't a great photo, but it is one of the first photos I've taken with my new drone, a DJI Phantom 4 Pro. The scene is looking across the Great Sippewesett marsh, past Black Beach and out to Buzzards Bay. I took it at low-tide on December 17, 2017; the temperature was 28 degrees fahrenheit and the wind was around 7-miles-per-hour.
I can't recall the elevation of the drone for this shot but it was somewhere between 50-85 meters, I think. I didn't have the confidence to fly it all the way out to the water - still very afraid of losing it.
I launched the drone from the bike path; I figured this was safe because almost nobody else was out there. A few people did walk or ride past while I was flying and most of them stopped to talk to me. They were interested in the drone and peered over my shoulder to see the image on the small remote control screen. When three people were standing next to me and asking questions I flew the drone into a position to get an aerial video of us waving at it. This is going to be fun.
The marsh is home to a variety of wildlife, including a lot of migratory birds. It's a beautiful place and I feel lucky to live here.
