This shot was taken why flying over the Cape Ann area. It shows low tide at Cranes Beach and the patterns produced with the interplay of the receding ocean and the sand that it exposes. The little white dots are actually birds taking advantage of the low tide and most likely looking for stranded fish or crabs. This is a somewhat abstract image with nothing in the shot to denote scale or context.
As you fly over coastline you realize how quickly it is changing before your eyes and will look completely different in a few hours or the next day. It provides a treasure trove of possible images to capture and is always a favorite place to fly over.
This shot was taken with a Canon 5D MK II and a 24-105 f/4L lens. Exposure was 1/800 second at f4 at ISO200. The focal length was at 100mm and I was flying at an altitude around 1000 feet.
