This is the first (I think) sunset shot with my drone. I wasn't sure how much ice would be at Chapoquoit when I left my house but this was more than I expected. It was just past high tide when I got there at 4:00 PM and about 30-minutes before sunset. Not much wind. I flew the drone up and down the beach photographing some of the people there and shot lots of video. I took this shot just before leaving. I think the drone was somewhere between 30-50 meters up.
Several people stopped to talk to me. One of them was a retired airline pilot who showed me a photograph on his smart phone of him with the Navy drone he flew in 1960! I didn't think to ask him if he would email me a copy of the picture but I wish I had. It looked like a small helicopter. He said he flew it by sight from the deck of an aircraft carrier until it got out-of-sight and then control was transferred to people below deck who tracked it on radar.
I go to the beach to gaze at the scenery and talk to interesting people. Sometimes I take pictures too.
