Highly commended – The perfect jetty – Langebaan certainly doesn’t have a shortage of exquisite scenery. Fringed by the deep blue of the ocean, and the beautiful Nature Reserve, it's a classic West Coast getaway. It was a familiarly windy day in the Cape and I'd been flying for hours. I was on my last bar of battery as I flew over a ridge and saw this jetty. It was picturesque and perfect. It was difficult trying to keep the drone at an appropriate angle to get the shot, but eventually the wind blew in my favour and I managed to capture the jetty like this. The boats lay old and unused, on the pristine white sand and somehow, in that moment, this image mirrored exactly how I felt. -By Clayton Reichlin Cape Town Camera DJI x5, DJI 15MM f/4, ISO 100, f/7, 1/100 sec
