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.
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.
A Family of Killer Whales
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!
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!
Fishermen at Work
This drone photo is a genuine work of art. You’re looking at a group of fishermen casting their net (the huge blue objects) into the sea from their fishing boat. The pops of bright blue against brown are a sight for sore eyes. We're not sure what they’re going to catch in such shallow water.
You see some of the men are in the boat, while others are literally wading on the sandy bottom. But you never know. If there’s one thing we know about water, it’s always full of pleasant and sometimes nasty surprises. That prized catch of the day doesn’t seem likely, so we’re happy with a drone shot of the day instead.
