Drone’s eye view: Aerial pics from the Cardboard Boat Race
Sunday marked Riverhead’s Fifth Annual Cardboard Boat Race downtown in the Peconic River. And while we were on site to tell the story of one nine-member boat team, and which town supervisor won the annual Riverhead-Southampton matchup, what we weren’t able to do is get 25 to 50 feet up in the sky to take our own photos.
But one photographer, operating a mechanical, 4-winged camera, sure was.
Check out some aerial pictures from the races here, courtesy of Global Aerial Media.
