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!
San Andreas Fault
This is the huge crack in the Earth that people believe is going to make California float away from the rest of the US… I kind of believe it.
About To Pounce
This lion could easily grab this drone out of the sky and destroy it… Better watch out!
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!
Drone Footage of a Highway Accident

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? Makes a cool photo, at least!
Really?
Can you imagine just driving your drone around, having a good time, and you see this?! People are so weird!
Just Having a Day
This is the last thing I’d expect to see running around in a field… Maybe more people should bring their drones out on the town? You could find some weirdo’s frolicking in a field!
Hole To Nowhere
This is super cool! This is a shot of the Kraken Hole. Locals dubbed it that since it very well looks like a Kraken could be lurking underneath!
Say Hi!
This figure is actually around 3,000 years old. No one is sure why it’s there, but most assume its an ancient art piece. Can you imagine having that in your backyard?
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.

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.
Whale Sharks Hangin’ Around
Those people are brave to swim with these giant beasts… They’re known to be docile (for the most part) but that still doesn’t make it less scary!
Is This What Fun Is?
Hammock’s are supposed to be relaxing, right? Who in their right mind thought this was a fun and exciting idea? It makes for a cool drone shot, though!
I Believe I Can Fly
Did you know that stingrays can kinda fly? They’re known for leaping out of the water. He looks very, very serious.
It Ate That Building Up
Just another sinkhole doing it’s a terrifying thing… Let’s just hope we all never have to deal with that.
Party Time
These sharks are getting into the co-feeding spirit. They’re living their best life, let them be.
Blue Whales Aren’t Real
There’s no way on this Earth that something that huge is real. It’s horrifying. This is a photo of a blue whale inhaling a flock of krill,
Shipping the Spaceship
In order to move a spaceship around, they can’t just fly it or drive it… They have to slap it on a big ship and literally sail it to its destination. It’s pretty crazy!
All in the Details
This is a birds-eye view of a WWII memorial. The planes featured in the memorial are actual retired WWII planes.
Fishing, or Art?
The folks on this boat are working hard at fishing! That blue masterpiece floating in the ocean is actually just a fishing net, but those clear blue waters make it even cooler.
Shark Vacation
These sharks decided to go to a beautiful shoreline for some vacation time. The only way you could even get close to these sharks is through a drone!
Spooky Hammerhead Shark
This shark had no idea that a sneaky drone pilot was spying on him! He was just taking a lonesome trek through the ocean, quite ominous.
Get Creative!
Easy it’s to blend in with other drone photographers. You really have to try hard to stand out! This guy did perfectly with using clear water to make this super cool texturized shot.
Final Resting Place for Planes
Apparently, this is a restricted zone for military-grade airplanes. Some drone operators took a risk to try and get this shot… It’s quite cool!
Did Their Best
These two sailors were caught by a drone checking out this whale. Apparently, they were trying to see if it needed help or if it was caught in anything, but unfortunately, it had already passed.
Time To Go
Hopefully the drone operator actually told these people to get out of the water… This is a real threat!
Whale Family Feast
It’s extremely rare to see whales feeding like this, which is what makes it so cool! Those seagulls are doing their best just to check things out and see if they can get any scraps.
Robot Shark?
This drone photographer thought that this was a real shark being towed by a boat, but it’s actually a robot shark! It’s unclear what in the world they were using it for…
Photobomb
This duck did not want its photo taken… That, or it thought that the drone was a weird bird getting all up in his business.
Lurking Below…
Looks like this girl had no idea that there was a shark lurking beneath her… What was going on?
Gonna Scoop Ya!
Looks like this hawk thought that it could scoop up this drone for some delicious dinner… He thought wrong!
Squad Deep
While exploring the wide-open ocean, this drone caught a killer whale family trucking along. How cool!
Breaching Pattern
This was taken right after a whale breached and went back under… It’s art!
Nature Art
Even though every other tree has lost its leaves, the evergreens don’t! That makes a super cool drone shot.
Following the Leader
This whale thought that it would just hang out by the boat and chill.
Painting a Rainbow
The craziest part is that this whale has no idea what he was doing!! He made a rainbow totally by accident.
Top Secret Bird HQ
You thought you knew where all the birds hung out… You were wrong. looks like these birdies have the nicest spot on the road!
Drone City
This is a long exposure shot of a drone circling a mountain peak… It’s been done beautifully!
Friendly Whale Sharks
See, they’re friendly! I still wouldn’t step foot in that water, though! Those people are super brave.
City Ruins
This is Homs, Syria. It was destroyed in 2011. It’s hard to get a good scope of the destruction from the ground, but this drone was ever to show everyone the real devastation…
Gross Drone
Good thing this girl had a broom handy, right? Some creep was spying on her while she was sunbathing on her apartment roof… Nasty.
Final Resting Place
There is a lot going on in this photo that makes it so aesthetically pleasing, even though its a photo of a dead whale!
Giant Screaming Bunny
This was part of a weird art installation. Someone dropped a giant stuffed bunny in the mountains somewhere in Europe… Not totally sure what the message was, but I’m here for it.
Hiding Place
This is probably the part of the church where the staff go to hide and get away from everyone… Kind of like the walk-in at a restaurant.
Destroyed City
This is another destroyed city. Built back in the 1100s, it was destroyed back in 2017.
It’s Clown Season
Remember when clowns were running rampant all over the US? Yeah, that was weird. Apparently, this drone pilot was getting a shot of a corn field and found this guy deep in it…
Volcano Chasing
Volcano chasers are one of the craziest people out there. This is a legit active volcano!!! Get out of there!
Recognize This?
This is the beautiful landmark in Rio Den Janeiro. It’s crazy to see this statue from this angle! It’s huge!
Hangin’ With My Drones
If you’re not about that parkour, skyscraper climbing life, just grab your friend and your drones and party! It’s the same thing.
Mining Diamonds
This is a town in South Africa that is totally reliant on mining their diamonds. This mine employs half the town!

This is the crazy destruction from the superstorm… The beach was eroded and ruined tons of infrastructure.
