Speaking of unexpected candid wildlife shots, here’s one for the ages! It’s not every day you see a different side to dogs. But this one reminds us that as cute and cuddly as they might be, dogs are animals at the end of the day. What’s the story behind th is image?
The operator was piloting his drone along the river when he overflew a dog playing in the water. The dog noticed the drone, and all of a sudden attacked it! That is one scary dog! We wonder if the drone survived the encounter. Judging by the picture, it must have been a real close call. We can only imagine what those jaws and teeth would do to a flimsy little flying toy.
Follow the Leader
Wow. This photo is definitely a highlight. An enormous whale is calmly following a little boat. It's true that people generally have little to fear from whales, but being so close to a creature so gigantic is inherently dangerous and unpredictable. Even a little accident could lead to a major tragedy.
If it were me in that boat, we have no doubt that our feelings would be split between excitement and thrill on one hand, and abject fear and panic on the other. But if we survived, it would certainly remain in our memory as one of the greatest experiences of our lives.
Bird Hello
Epic action shot! The crow literally flew right up to a drone in flight to say hello! Look at the expression on its face! Wanna bet the drone pilot was a bit freaked out by the unexpected visit? This crow does not look pleased one bit. And from what one hears about crows; we don’t recommend annoying one either.
There’s probably a valid reason why a group of crows is called a “murder.” But what’s done is done and let’s hope for the best. The fun side of drone photography often involves surprising and candid wildlife shots. There’s not a human being alive who isn’t naturally drawn to such whimsical beauty.
Traffic in China
You know the world’s gone bonkers when most of our horror stories involve traffic. And China always takes things to the ultimate level because would you look at this horror story? Can you imagine inching your way through traffic like this? Someone needs to invent jet packs already.
It’s the 21st century and we’re no closer to living like the Jetsons now than we were decades ago, when the cartoon came out! Flying over this scene with a drone must have given the operator quite a feeling of freedom though! Just try counting the lanes on this mega-highway, that will pass some time.
Relaxing in the Shallow End
Looks like someone is having fun relaxing in the shallow tropical beach water. A rule older than drones, older even than photography, is that eye candy sells! Ever seen a Greek statue? Yup. Human nature never changes. We hope she doesn’t mind being spied on by the drone operator.
Privacy is definitely one of the big concerns in the exciting new world of drones. Drones are excellent. Their owners? Not always. We hear too many stories of drone misuse. But if you spy one and have good aim, nosy drones, and their operators are fair game! Don’t forget to gather your friends and family for all the destructive fun!
