Drone photography is a bit hard. There can only be so many “cool” shots of things from up high. These drone operators nailed their craft and have actually gotten some insane photos of things we’d never seen before…
No, Thank You
This is a highway in China that merges 47 lanes of traffic. AKA, the worst place to ever be ever.
The Ultimate Selfie
When you have access to a wind turbine and a drone, why wouldn’t you take this selfie?! It’s definitely one of the more rare selfies we’ve seen…
Storm Chasin’
This is a shot for the ages! This looks like some sort of hurricane, thunder, lightening situation going on. This is when taking your drone out int he rain is super worth it.
Not What You Want To See
Sinkholes are honestly terrifying. They can open up at any time, anywhere. This one is a great example of a sinkhole: It swallowed an entire building!
Do Your Wedding Photos Top This?
If your wedding photographer has a drone, expect the coolest shots ever!
Crazy Shot of Hong Kong
Hong Kong is barely a city… It’s like it’s own country. The colorful, tall buildings make it a crazy landscape.
All the Kayaks
This is a kayak festival in China… It doesn’t seem very fun, but it’s cool looking!
Flooded Themepark
Hurriane Katrina ruined so many parts of the south… It did some major damage to this water park. It’s still standing, but totally unsafe to enter.
Arthur Kill Ship Graveyard
This is a ship graveyard in Staten Island, NY. These ships are from WWII and are out of commission. They used to be used for scraps, but now the area has been overtaken by water.
Hurricane Harvey Damage
Hurricane Harvey really ruined a lot of homes and lives. This area was nowhere near water, and now it’s underneath it…
Italian Church Up in the Clouds
The fog surrounding this church was just too good for this drone operator to pass up… He nailed the shot!
Hello!
This blue whale wanted to say hi to the boaters! He even let them pet his face… How crazy is that?
Dare to Rock Climb?
This person is spending their day free climbing… Why? Who knows. I’d much rather be the drone operator…
Hey, Lady Liberty!
The architecture of Lady Liberty is crazy enough as it is, but looking from above is so wild!
Hey, uh, Shark?
This photo took quite the turn! These girls wanted a neat shot on their paddleboards, but instead, they got a photo with a shark!
Paddleboards are especially dangerous because it can look like a seal to a shark… You know what that means.
That’s a Weird Bird!
When you gotta chase, you gotta chase! This dog was enjoying a nice day at the pond when he saw that he was being chased by a weird electronic bird!
Weird Peeping Toms
The stingrays are enjoying their days at the shore just like the girls are! Gotta take in the rays, ya know?
Bizarre Crash Landing
It’s kind of impressive that this pilot landed right there… Is that what he wanted? Was it easier than just landing in the water?
That’s The Ocean For Ya!
One lucky drone operator ended up catching a killer whale feating on a shark… This is the type of stuff you’d never catch again, even if you tried!
Got The Shot
This is actually a man-made pool that breaks into the ocean. The current is broken up so it’s like a lounging area, but you still get the super cool waves breaking over the wall.
Ready To Burst
This drone had to be extremely high up in the sky so it wouldn’t melt! It was still able to capture this awesome shot of a LIVE volcano!
Friendly Sharks?
Let’s hope! It seems that this diver was able to infiltrate this little school of sharks. That’s pretty neat!
Closer Than You Think
Do you ever think, “Wow, we’re so low…” That’s probably because you’re right! Obviously, a plane has to get low to the ground in order to land, but sometimes, it’s super close to things that aren’t the runway.
Crazy!
Devastating Fire
This is a shot of the aftermath of the Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa, 2017. The entire neighborhood was destroyed.
Hiking To The Extreme
Some people are crazy, let’s face it. Who would hike up to the tippy-top of a mountain like that?! It’s horrifying!
Seems like this guy knew exactly what he was doing since he had two drones with him.
