Eagle Ray Clarity

PIERCE GAINEY

“One random morning I decided to drive up to Delray Beach with my drone to see what it’s like, as I am always looking for some new perspectives. While flying the drone, I noticed something dark in the distance that was moving in the water. I quickly flew the drone over to see what it was. To my surprise, it was this absolutely gorgeous ray. I was stunned and in awe, and I knew I had to get the photo. So, I hovered and followed the ray for quite a distance, and I was snapping some pictures. I wasn’t fond of my current perspective, so I began to lower my altitude from the drone and hovered just above the water, so much so, I thought I was in the water at one point. Once I had the lower altitude with my drone,

I began snapping picture after picture and I was utterly shocked at the insanely amazing quality of the ocean and the color. It felt like I was in the water watching this ray pass by me. Finally, the ray came just below the surface of the water and that’s where I was able to snap this picture. I knew I was satisfied with these photos and decided to return the drone back to me. The ocean is such a mysterious yet awe-inspiring place and I am forever grateful to call South Florida my home. A beautiful moment that will live on in my memory and is now hanging on my wall!”
