Some drones are equipped for scientific exploration and timeless art. One such captured this perfect overhead shot of a family of killer whales roaming the open ocean. It’s an outstanding image, a real keeper. Imagine the patience it must take to send your drone over miles and miles of ocean.
You’re looking at your screen and seeing nothing but water and more water until finally…you get the shot of a lifetime! We dock our hats in respect. You’ve got to be committed and frankly a little obsessive to create outstanding art. The results, like this beauty, are well worth it!
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!
Drone Captures Robotic Shark
Why is there even such a thing as a robotic shark? Scientific research; a prank; some sort of recreation or sporting equipment? Those are the possibilities that we can think of. Are we missing anything? As if the sea and real sharks weren’t terrifying enough, someone decided to add a robotic shark into the mix.
This image was captured by a drone pilot off the Atlantic coast of Florida. For some reason, the robotic shark was being pulled behind a boat. Unsuspecting swimmers and surfers, who might have spotted this? Good news: you’ve got nothing to worry about for today. Small mercies but hey, we’ll take it.
Swimming with the Fishes
Swimming with the fishes...or a whale...or a whale shark. You know, like, whatever. Let’s just call it swimming with sea life and leave it at that. Kind of a freaky photo. We know it’s probably totally safe, but you won’t find me swimming with a creature like that. They look docile and friendly enough.
But if there’s one thing the ocean teaches us, it’s the element of surprise. You never know what you’re going to get. But you go ahead. You do you! We admit it would be almost worth getting into the water with this giant fish just to be able to show off this amazing photo forever. Will we actually do it? Absolutely not.
Flying Stingray
Outstanding action shot! Is this a ray from one of the Earth's oceans, or is it a science fiction spaceship? You decide! The camera caught the very moment the Mobula devil ray breached (flew out of the water). It’s an exceptionally lucky shot.
Space exploration might be incredible but the depths of the ocean contain secrets just as wondrous we’re certain. Scientists have explored and mapped only 5 percent of the ocean. That’s a whopping 95 percent of “who knows what lies beneath.” The ocean is endlessly fascinating and terrifying. For now, we're content with seeing what it wants me to see!
