I have never owned or operated a photographic Drone such as the Mavic 2 featured in this image not only because of the cost of such a device but also from the real fear on my part that an operating error or technical failure on the drone would result in the device plunging into deep sea water never to see the light of day again. I have however seen both still and movie images captured from such a device that are quite breathtaking. In recent years I have observed drones flying over the River Test in Southampton's Western docks presumably photographing ships that are berthed or underway. This image was captured in July 2022 from the deck of the preserved steam ship SS Shieldhall and it may have been Shieldhall itself that was being photographed. The original image has been heavily cropped and then processed in both Adobe Lightroom and the Topaz Photo AI applications in order to increase its size. This was necessary because the drone is only a small dot in the centre of the unprocessed image.
