Winter drone images will often set our minds a-puzzling, inviting us to wonder, what exactly am I looking at? The abstract images of the ice on Grenadier Pond raise more questions than they answer.
Warming cold winter days with memories of late summer, here are photographs of the trip home from The Thousand Islands. Enjoy some warm aerial images of Waupoos, Grassy Point, High Bluff Island, and Cobourg.
Two fine anchorages in The Thousand Islands: one a familiar locale, the other new to us. A good anchorage attracts many boats and makes for beautiful aerial photographs.
I’ve been looking forward to shooting a second series of aerial photographs with George Caesar, a close friend and extraordinary canoeist, near the high sand cliffs of Scarborough Bluffs.
The day started out really well. George launched his canoe and helped his canine friends climb on board. They were eager, I was eager, and the winds were calm. The drone took off flawlessly.
Individual features of the landscape, when viewed from a height, often turn out to be less visually interesting than the remarkable patterns they contribute to.
These images, photographed in winter at various altitudes, remind me of the unique ability of shapes and patterns to please the eye and tease the imagination.
To capture an image of a boat in full sail is challenging at the best of times. But to fly the drone at the same time from on board the sailboat, is even more of a challenge.
The Humber River in winter bisects the urban landscape, with gala, random forest on one bank, and a prim golf course on the other. Nearby, I discovered a voluptuous sports venue.
At Niagara Falls, I was looking forward to a combination of challenge and potential, in a spectacular location. I was not thinking about another kind of plunge.
Two bridges stand side by side at the entrance to Hamilton Harbour. I flew the drone under them to catch images of intriguing patterns - and a freighter headed for Australia.
