30 Images Taken by Drones That Will Change Your View of the World

Technology has allowed us to make some incredible strides in recent years. The advent of the drone has given us access to images of some of the most remote and awe-inspiring regions of the world. Before now, some of these sites have never been photographed, due to people being unable to reach those particular areas.

Drones are now something we see regularly, whether they are flying above our heads at an event, or filming key information for a documentary, there are plenty of ways that the drone has become a normal part of our life. So much so that there are even certain laws regarding drones in different countries around the world. Here is a selection of drone images you simply have to see to believe.

Big Cat Fury

Well, it seems this drone managed to come across a pride of lions lazing in the afternoon sun. The problem is the lions have noticed the drone buzzing above them.

While it makes for a great picture, let’s hope these lions cant jump up and attack the drone.

Manta Ray

We love the symmetry in this photo, and we wonder whether it was set up or not since the picture is so perfectly timed. This shows two sunbathing ladies and two friendly rays happily swimming together in Sri Lanka.

The drone has been able to capture some truly stunning images as well as videos of mana rays gracefully moving in the water. Although it may look like it could be dangerous, Manta Rays are in fact, no threat to humans; however, they have been known to show curiosity towards humans.

Will You?

Now, this has got to be one of the most adorable images ever caught on a drone, right? As one man took his drone over the edge of a mountain to get some images of the stunning views, he happened upon this proposal.

Wanting to capture the footage but also keeping some distance, the drone hovered while this lucky man got down on one knee and asked for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. We just hope that the owner of the camera was able to find this couple and share the footage with them.

Whale Watching

An amazing image that shows just how great the depths of the world’s oceans are. This snorkeler unknowingly swims mere feet away from one of the planet’s most majestic creatures. Humpback whales are known to grow up to 16 meters in length and can live for up to 50 years.

This aerial view captures the enormous size of the incredible aquatic mammal. The snorkeler keeps well away and admires the whale from afar. What an experience that must have been.
