West Falmouth Harbor, February 16, 2019

I’ve been collecting images of the sunset at Chapoquoit beach throughout the year to track the sun’s changing position as the Earth orbits around it. My standard shot is to fly my drone up to 120 meters and then back 220 meters to capture all of West Falmouth Harbor and the sunset just as the sun kisses the horizon at Chapoquoit beach. That is not what I did for this image. This evening, after taking the described standard shot, I flew the drone over to the harbor to get a closer shot of the dock and the sunset beyond. The calm water and the reflections make the scene feel so quiet, don’t you think?
