- - - did a rather extensive aerial photo shoot on June 28: 2 hour flight and around 160 shots, taken between Bath's Kennebec River waterfront and the Portland Yacht Club at Falmouth. The "in between" included other parts of Bath; Brunswick, Topsham, Mere Point(on the ocean), Yarmouth and Harpswell. Heading back to Wiscasset KIWI with only five images left of my flash card, forward and below was an interesting sight. Time was so short I didn't have opportunity to change lenses, thus was limited to my 24-70mm on the camera. Just grab it, stick it out the window, and hope for the best. (Photo #1)
Then a quick photo #2. The two captains, obviously, didn't stop to talk.

Further ahead was a fancier "boat;" managed to get one shot of it, then did a 360 and came back for another. It was a terrific day, leaving much post processing to be done.

Funny! In the 2nd photo, sequential to 1st photo, it appears that the boat is outrunning me, but I doubt it, considering I was cruising at about 70mph.

Great shots! Even got a float plane about ready to land.

I was at Lands End on Saturday forenoon and saw a plane make a couple of passes over the island, but I did not think it was yours. It was a small Cessna though.

I posted the pics I took to my Facebook page. You could see Cape Elizabeth from Lands End. I'll try to post them here tomorrow.

We are back in Quincy tonight. Fireworks on the 3rd, Boston State House for the reading of the Declaration of Independence on the 4th! Back to Las Vegas on the 6th and a soaring trip the 8th thru 12th in Utah.
 
My Lands End flyover photos were on June 08. I'm STILL finessing the images from that flight, let alone 170 shots from June 28.
