This gut-wrenching shot of one of the world’s most famous landmarks was taken in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It shows Christ the Redeemer from an angle only birds have ever seen before. Not only is it one of the world’s tallest statues, but it rests on a mountain that itself looks over the city.
Look at the drops off that mountain, sharp and deep like human despair. If that isn’t the best visual representation of redemption, we don’t know what is. This is also a perfect example of using drones to show people previously unseen — and unseeable — perspectives and sights. Three cheers for technology, and for the creativity to know how to use it!
Diamond Mine
In the very middle of a town in South Africa sits this ugly gigantic diamond mine. You can see how the buildings stand right up to the edge of the dropoff. Insane. We wonder what it's like to live right next to such an enormous pit? This drone footage certainly gives us a new perspective on life.
Hopefully, human ingenuity will help ameliorate some of these problems. The diamond mine is also a reminder of how beauty and ugliness co-exist, often right next to each other. Such is the world we live in. Sometimes it needs taking a step back and a different perspective to see it.
Drones Over Dubai
The creative idea of using two drones totally helps to give you the idea of what it takes to get these shots. Plus, you see what an ultra-modern city Dubai is, and what kind of insane architecture fills it these days. Skyscrapers? These ones literally pierce the clouds!
It’s amazing how quickly Dubai has gone from a sleepy backwater to one of the most modern bustling metropolises on the planet. Over the years, the country has become an architect’s playground – from sleek modern architecture to disruptive innovation, bordering on the outlandish. It seems like there’s nothing that human ingenuity and hard work can’t accomplish.
Awesome Wedding Photo
This freshly married couple got the wedding photo of a lifetime with an overhead shot from a drone. Just looking at it triggers our vertigo, but we can’t help but feel a little jealous anyway.
These ingenious folks made quite the innovative decision not only to get married on the roof of a skyscraper but also to have the wedding photo shot from even higher using a drone. It’s unique and refreshing as far as wedding photos go, setting the perfect tone for new beginnings. This couple is all heart and pure joy. When you use your imagination, the sky’s the limit!
A Neat Playground
Are those shipping containers, trailers, or giant Legos? Who can tell because this is positively a work of art. We feel like we’ve entered a wonderland of sorts! Colorful containers are parked at similar angles, some straight and others a little awry. Concrete roads divide the containers neatly into rows.
Even the trolleys in the distance play their part – colorful and neatly placed where they belong. This setting is quiet, too quiet. Isn’t it ideal for a high-stakes hide-and-seek game? Or maybe adventures like that of Spiderman, jumping from one container to the next? A thrilling container top chase is in order. We can almost hear it calling out to us!
