Taken with a Phantom 2 Vision, FC200 camera from a quad-copter, in other words. This "island" is underwater two times per day, so I hiked out at low tide to get as close as possible -- still over 150 yards away. Still surrounded by water, I used the drone to get to the lighthouse, where I was able to grab some captures. I was very lucky with the light this day as well. The detail on the image is amazing; Lightroom being able to post-process the RAW DNG files that are produced is one big bonus from the FC200 camera.

Tybee Island Light Station, Tybee Island, GA, USA, taken with a Phantom 2 Vision from 200 feet.

The moon caught rising over Tybee Island. The sea oats were light painted to bring detail out in them as they competed with the moon for the exposure

The "Lone Tree" on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. The Sea, Earth, and Nature took her back to dust, so I was glad to get this capture!

The lone star at sunset on Tybee Island.

Tybee Island, South End Sunset while the Tide Rolled Out (Long Exposure)

Cockspur Lighthouse from the Civil War to mark Fort Pulaski... Still maintained and standing. Most of the time it's surrounded by water, but I went at

The whole of Tybee Island at High Tide. It was windy and the island was getting hammered by the waves this day; this is not too normal, both jetties

A unique capture where the sky turned chocolate with the sand and created this chocolate sunset; the smoothed water created by long exposure

Well... I guess the title explains most of it.

A peek of the sunset as it left Tybee Island and the dunes-sea oats. The ocean waits on the other side of the dunes.

A lone lifeguard stand looking out onto the Atlantic, waiting for a day of action. Taken at sunset, with multiple long exposures, merged in camera wit

Where does the sky stop and the shore begin? It takes more than a quick look.

Waves under the water... This shot contrasts the last (taken at the same place in the sky), at high tide. Taken at incoming low, the "sand waves" mad

5 merged exposures, 1 EV spaced, after gracefully getting allowance to use the Hyatt's rooftop!
