SHOT OF THE MONTH • About the shot: “I took this photo on a road trip through New England. We stopped and I sent the drone up to grab a view of the lie of the land. I was able to see the channels and valleys of the natural ecosystem of Wells Beach. My favourite part of this shot is the perspective. This location could easily be overlooked from the highway, instead, I was able to pull out a great abstract photo of the greens and blues of July’s summer.”
