Here we go again with the sharks! We get that they’re fascinating creatures, but must one really admire them up close? And then proceed to share pictures with the world? It seems that people want us to never be able to fall asleep. Or to never get in the water again.
Whatever it is, it’s working. If you want me scared, you’ll be happy to know we’re utterly terrified. But at least it’s not a crocodile. Because crocs seem more determined to bite now that we think about it. Who’s with us? We wonder who would win a battle royale between a shark and a croc. Send out the drones!
Oceanside Spaceship
Is there anyone out there so jaded that they fail to get inspired by space exploration? We hope not. Sadly, the space shuttle program is now a thing of the past, but hopefully something bigger and better will be created to replace it. Fun fact: did you know that NASA moves space shuttles on rafts on the water?
We sure didn’t. Seems kind of risky and dangerous to me, since that is one expensive piece of equipment. But we have it on good authority that they know what they’re doing. Still, how much do you suppose it costs to ensure the passage against falling into the sea?
Forest in the Winter
Here we have a stunning overhead shot of a winter forest scene. Vibrant green snowless trees stand next to snow-covered grassland. There’s a starkness to this forest that’s rather unusual, don't you think? The icy landscape alongside gives the forest a haunting quality – a sign that winter is slowly but surely approaching and waiting to take over.
Call that unsettling or calm, it’s all subjective. But this is about as good as landscape photography gets. A unique perspective that has eluded us for years until drones came around and captured it. The results are stunning. And the comment it makes about the synergy between technology and art is exciting.
On Top of the World
This awesome photo captures the moment when a mountain climber finally succeeded in scaling the summit. It’s absolutely magnificent and, if you suffer from vertigo, horrifying as well. But thank you to the brave climber for capturing the shot so we at home can enjoy the view vicariously.
One of the really cool touches in this photo is that it uses two drones. One drone helps us see the main subject of the picture while the other gives us peeks into how the shot was made. Perspective on perspective, views that give us different views. This one is all kinds of meta.
Coastlines and Dreamscapes
In the eyes of a drone, the stunning Algarve coastline looks like a portal to another world. From above, the sands and cliffs blend into an intricate mosaic that could well be the brushstrokes of a cosmic artist. It is as if the earth herself has dipped her fingertips in paint. The results?
A photograph that’s familiar and also fantastical. The beach takes on the hues of another planet almost, a ruddy shade reminiscent of Mars. All it takes is drone photography to change a day at the beach into a dreamscape. The Algarve coastline, as captured through the lens of a drone, transforms into a world that's both real and surreal.
