Point the camera straight down and the Mediterranean stops being scenery. This is a rock shelf a few metres under clear water off Ibiza — but framed without a horizon it becomes colour and texture, closer to a painting than a postcard. The frames I keep from drone flights are almost never the wide ones; they're the ones that stop looking like the ground at all.
